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.
This depend on the amount actually. If I am a regular gambler that gamble $10 dollar a week and I don't feel anything when I lose this amount, I don't regret it, I don't feel like I even bet then that amount is something I can afford to lose and if don't have money to bet one day and I asked a friend or a close relative to help me out with $5 and the I used it to bet, I don't think that will look like money I can't afford to lose, its little for me to not lose because I didn't need to feed my stomach or do anything else just for gambling, even if I don't have anything at all, no hope, no food and the gamble with it's, it will look normal to me because it's a risk and nothing more.
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.
Just because you have a job doesn't mean you should stake recklessly, staking higher doesn't guarantee anything, the same way you can lose when you stake lower is the same way you can lose when you stake hiher. So, instead of staking that high, better to work on your gambling style and how to win instead of always focusing on using all the money you make from your jobs, I do feel pity how some people gamble sometimes because it's not worth it and yet they don't learn.
