So I caught my friend up having gambling as a source of making incomes.
Few days ago, I went to my friends place and met him with a strange face to me, so sudden their language changed in a way I wouldn't understand. The both were talking about hustles which the other guy ask my friend that Are you not running the other hustle anymore"? So my friend replied"I do but I have lost a lot this time just after I made my last cashout" which he analysed different values and occasions he had won. The other guy told him not to stop trying that it is sometimes like that and so is the nature of the business.
I knew they were up to gambling discussion but they never wanted me to know about it.
I never see gambling as a bad activity unless you gives yourself up to it in controlling your emotions. So I think these two guys knew they were at the wrong side of it that is why they never wanted me to know they were into gambling.
Just in, he is on medical attention after he slumped as a result of loosing a borrowed fund meant for a business re-startup after the gamble made him squandered his previous business.
At his regained to a normal state of health, he explained that he thought he would be lucky to win at the stake so as he could expand his intended business with a bigger capital.
At a point I don't see any business oriented ideal in this Friend because $1,000 ls good enough for a start of lucrative businesses.
your friend seems to have the wrong mindset in understanding how gambling works and engaging in excessive gambling activities causes him to experience big losses when the money he was going to use to open a business ends up being lost in gambling.
It is very clear that gambling is only about winning or losing, but the chance of losing is greater than winning because gambling is built to provide profits for gambling owners, not to give money to customers.
events like this are what make gambling look bad in the eyes of other people out there, whereas gambling actually doesn't have any problems as long as you are able to take responsibility for all the risks you will get by betting with the cold money you have and not betting when you don't have any money left but a wrong understanding of gambling makes a bettor lose a lot of money and makes gambling's reputation bad in the world's view.
your friend may now feel very regretful and feel very sad after losing a lot of money after having too much hope in gambling, but in this way your friend gets a very valuable lesson not to make mistakes again and think that gambling just a place to try your luck with numbers small.
