It's just a matter of success and failure; once it fails, you won't finance again. But if the person is winning, that would help you earn consistent profit, provided he sticks with the same setup.
That's how a gambler should think. It shouldn't complicate things. We're all in this to expect two possible outcomes: either we lose or we win. Similarly, when trusting a person, it's akin to a gamble with agreed-upon terms. If they succeed, we win; if they fail, we lose. It's that simple, right?
Yes, it's that simple. But the problem is if he loses and he can't pay back the money he borrowed from us, what do we do? I guess people who lend money to someone will collect the money, right? Unless he actually gave the money and it wasn't a loan. If so, the person does not have to return the money, whatever the outcome. But most people will ask for their money back and they don't want to know what happens to the borrower because that is the risk of people borrowing money from other people. Besides that, we also have to think about how much money we want to borrow or how much money we have to finance that person. We cannot fund someone with a large amount of money.
That's why its never a good decision to finance them knowing that their activities done is so risky to participate and if they lose for sure they might get broke then struggle financially, that's why our chance to get paid for what we lend to them is so slim. So to avoid any problem related to this stuff much better if we should not let them borrow our money and give them good advice regarding on financing and their poor gambling activity since for sure it can help them more rather than allowing them to do what those things can destroy them.
We should consider all conditions since if we just let them do what they want for sure they might think about that we are still fine and its ok that they would not pay because we still have money base on their observation.
