Army teaches patience, discipline and giving life for the country. I don't understand how an army man can become addicted to gambling. Anyway to my knowledge I have never seen anyone get rich from gambling. Gambling is an addiction. When he is repeatedly losing gambling, he should have quit gambling.
If the person I am referring to had not gambled in online casinos and invested this amount of money in bitcoins, he would have made a substantial half profit today, even after paying off his debts.
