Sorry to hear about your situation.
Good on you for trying to share your experiences with the forum so that others can avoid making the same mistakes. It is truly a shame that these things still happen. People should be educated on the pitfalls on gambling, and the very real risks that come with it. Gambling is not a way to become wealthy - it is merely a tool to gain entertainment if you have spare funds.
No matter what you say to yourself to justify it, it is never okay to take out loans to gamble. Unfortunately, I see that all too much even in online casinos, with strangers loaning money to each other. That is enablement that needs to be avoided like the plague, in my honest opinion.
Always, always, gamble responsibly.
I have actually seen nothing where or through which money is made, that does not get abused, gambling was created or invented (which ever means it came to be) as a sole means of entertainment, I remember reading one history on gambling and how it came to be, it was said that the act of gambling started from soldiers who out of boredom, will start playing and betting some for their minor items to make the game more interesting, this was how gambling started.
And, gambling have so advanced that it's now possible to play and win money, and money being something every body wants, as it is what rules the world that we live in, I am not surprised to see some people going out of line just to gamble and see if they could win money, some are because of gambling, doing all manner of unthinkable stuffs, where as if we compare it to borrowing for the sole of purpose of gambling, we won't know which is better.
This are things we always advice against, not good at all to gamble with borrowed money, it's better to start a business with borrowed money, atleast from there, one can make guaranteed profit, from which he or she can pay off his or her loan, and still be having money to gamble from time to time, all the person have to do is to make sure to gamble In a way it doesn't rekt the business.
