When you are depending on someone for assistance because you want to gamble it means that you are risking what you can not afford to lose. Why because you don't have the money to gamble but someone have to give it to you before you can stake.
But when you have jobs that pays you money so well and you are gambling it means you are risking what you can afford to lose. Why because ones you lose your job will give you another money.
However, many people would say even if you have jobs but you are staking higher it also means you are gambling with what you can not afford to lose. Moreover it's true and I have to dauth but I have a feeling that ones someone that have a good paying job is staking more than what he can afford to lose, there is no different between addiction there.
I disagree with you. If you receive financial assistance from someone to use for gambling, it should be considered as the money you can afford to lose. This is because you receive it without having to work for it. On the other hand, if you use your salary earned from a job to gamble, it is considered as the money you can't afford to lose. You work hard for it, put in your effort, and have to wait for a few weeks to receive it.
