I think that only an aloha gambler or trader will agree to take money from other people for their activities. The fact is that the laws of proper trading state that you need to play or trade only with your own money. Especially for extra money, the loss of which will not affect the quality of life in any way.
And no greedy intentions should interfere with this law. Because if you borrow money from friends, and then lose it, then it's so sad to lose the most precious thing - family and friends.
Under no circumstances should you give money to your friends or relatives, because this is the best reason to destroy your relationship with them forever. I have seen this happen in real life and I will say that it is better to be smarter and learn from other people's mistakes. The same applies to gambling or poker in particular. Even if you have a super brilliant friend who beats everyone, even in this case I would not sacrifice our relationship because of some money that we will spend on something unnecessary and forget about them altogether. Friendships often last a lifetime.
