my mother once said "so that relationships with family and friends last, never give them loans", i also still have a friend who hasn't paid his debt to me until now even though the debt has been going on since 8 years ago, he always says be patient, i'll pay it later, it's only a small amount of money but until now he hasn't paid it. gambling to pay off debts is very risky, but borrowing money to pay off debts also carries a high risk of breaking up friendships.
all humans are certainly sensitive when discussing money or discussing money, not with other people with people of the same blood, this can be a problem that can have a big impact and even destroy relationships that were previously fine. i agree with what your mother said because with this, problems often occur with each other, and when these problems occur everything will become awkward, of course this is not what a family wants. therefore let alone gambling for other things that involve borrowing money even in the family, it can be a serious problem.
gambling to pay off debts in my opinion is the wrong action, gambling will not completely solve the problem, although there is a chance to get a win it is unlikely to be obtained as expected borrowing to pay off debts is tantamount to digging holes closing holes if they really want to pay off debts they must realize that to get money and pay off their debts they must work not gamble if they take action to gamble in my opinion it is the same action as killing themselves...,
