What do you make of this, I honestly do not know but deep inside of me, I feel it's absolutely wrong to advice people against doing something, just because you did the same thing and it did not favor you..

I think rather an adviser should give an insightful reason for his advise. Someone who is to advise somebody else is suppose to be someone who is very knowledgeable in the topic of advise. Like the topic in discuss, if the gambler has made wrong decision which has caused him to lose his life savings then he should surmon that courage to first expose his weakness to his listeners before delving into his advise and also anchor his advise based on his mistake but not to condemn it because of his error.

There will be some of his listeners who are also gambling the way he did but they are luckily winning and not getting into same problem that he had found himself in, so if he had given the right kind of advise which should be in two ways as to cause and effect then those who are gambling same way he did would benefit maximally from his advise. But now they are only getting one sided advise, meaning they are also likely to fall in his shoes soonest.

Gambling is profitable and you also run into loses but if you are a responsible gambler, you will know your fault and accept it any time you lose.

Just because someone's been through the wringer doesnt mean they're the best person to offer advice. Im a big believer in expertise, the best of the best. When a guy loses it all on a bad bet, then starts lecturing about the dangers of gambling - they've got experience, sure, but are they a winner? Probably not. Advice needs to be strategic, not just a list of mistakes. It could even be harmful, leading people the wrong way. Someone hitting a hot streak at the tables seems successful, but without a real understanding of the game, it wont last.

This isnt about blaming anyone. Its about building a winning mindset. Gambling responsibly? That means knowing the odds, the rules, and having a rock-solid plan. Thats when experience becomes valuable - when its combined with a strategy for success. People need a roadmap, not just a cautionary tale. Teach people how to win, not just warn them about losing.
