-Have you ever bet at the wrong place and the wrong time?

Nope but I do have a story to share that I experienced with my brother!

Around 4-5 years ago, my brother was an avid gambler. Since we grew up with a family struggling for any kind of financial support, my brother would do anything in order to have profit- he would start businesses by selling printed t-shirts and do tutorial on Math. Also, he would gamble during the night in order to try and attempt if he could bring more money with him.

When we were planning a trip with our mother (parents are divorced), a day before our scheduled trip, my brother went to the casino and invited me to gamble with him. He explicitly told me to STOP him if he won at least $20 in profit and call it a day. After some time, my brother already accumulated around $100 worth of profit and I kept on insisting on going home but he still continued despite all of the warnings that I did.

Long story short, my brother took a loss amounting to $600 that night in which that was the money he saved up from his monthly savings. During our entire trip, he was out of his mood and he was not able to enjoy the vacation that my mother planned for years.
