Assuming you find yourself in a similar situation as this, what will you do? How will you handle the situation to make your parents trust you again?

I will be ashamed of myself and look for a means to pay back the funds to my parents. For me to be able to make up for my mistakes and win their trust back, I must quit gambling for a while, in order for me to be able to overcome my addiction. This is because it is only an addicted gambler that cannot be entrusted with money, because he will end up using it for gamble since he cannot control his gambling activities and would always want to chase his losses all the time.

If I quit gamble and overcome my addiction, I can look for so many ways so show them that I am now responsible and can be trusted upon with funds, but it would be hard for them to believe you, only if it was very easy for you to make the repayment in a short period of time, when his father noticed the money is no longer in his son's account. If it was very hard to pay back or was not paid back, you have lost their trust in you for life.

Yeah, sure truth, it's hard to ever trust a person again when they one way or the other breaks and loses the trust we had in them, and i agree that for this dude, it will be difficult for him to win back his father's trust again.

But what about that which is said about blood being thicker than water? Do you think such statement does not apply in this type of situation?

And let's say he somehow manages to replace the money, either by means of borrowing or working menial jobs to raise the money, will his parents ever trust him again to save large sum of money with him?

Just as the parable goes, "It will be easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for this boy's father to ever believe him with entrusting a large sum of money again". Which means it really going to be very difficult for this boy's father to accept him like before ever again, because as it stands now, it's already visible that trust has been broken, and when it's broken, it always take time to get heal back. Hence, I think the only advice I can give this boy now is to stop the habit of gambling with other people's money, while he sincerely go ask for forgiveness from his parents.

If I was to find myself in this shoe, I think the best to do is to sincerely ask for forgiveness, try as much to go find a job, so as to repay even if it's 10% of the lost amount, while I stop gambling with other people's money.

What difference do you think it will make if the dude stops gambling with other people's money, but continue to gamble with his own money? I think it makes no difference, for gambling addiction knows nothing about who owns the money you are with, you will spend it without even knowing when you did.
I agree with you on him apologizing and seeking his father's forgiveness, this is actually good, but I have a question, if this was your son, I believe you will forgive him, but will you trust him again afterwards?
