Do you see this as addiction or just catching of fun?

This is one of the worst advice I've seen so far when it comes of gambling. Loan to gamble? That's very wrong. Who ever had created such images must be an addicted gambler. We shouldn't forget that gambling should be with money you can afford to loose and definitely taking loan to gamble you can't afford to loss it.

Someone who goes to that extent has already been addicted. It might seem to him like nothing but sooner or later, he will notice that when he isn't winning they money he had borrowed will start Ringing a bell on his head. We should have fun when gambling but donut wisely listening to such unreasonable advice or words from addicted persons will only yield more problems for someone.

Using loan money to gamble is not a good thing to do because it can get one into trouble, however it is not for only gamblers but also for those that are into business, investment, trading and gambling.
Addicted can make one to be in a serious trouble because it is not everytime that one will gain in what they do, sometimes people have to encounter loses in their business or investment and not to talk about gambling, gambling that not even have a insurance of winning, it is not good as you have said earlier.
If a gambler have tried this that means he should get ready to meet loses and addictions. A lot of people who borrowed money to do these things fund it very difficult to pay back because they have lost everything that they have borrowed.
One can borrow money for something else like emergency cases, because they might have a source of income but at the time of emergencies they might not have the money to sort it out so they can just borrow and leter they pay back... As long as they don't use it to gamble, they can borrow and pay back.

Win-seeking drives us to underestimate losses, especially in the heat of the gamble.

We shouldnt demonise gambling. Many indulge in it responsibly. The excitement, adrenaline, and strategy can be interesting. Moderation and playing within your limits are key to any sort of amusement. Borrowing to gamble? The line blurs there. Betting a money you owe is different from betting your own. The former is entertaining, the latter dangerous.

However, borrowing for emergencies or vital necessities is different. Practicality is often crucial. It shows that loans are for emergencies, not gambling. Those who enjoy fun gambling should gamble for amusement, not destruction. Lighthearted, enjoyable, and most importantly, on your own playground, not borrowed.
