Each of us learns only from our own experience. Therefore, a gambler becomes wiser only after making mistakes. Apparently he has not yet made all the possible mistakes, so he is experimenting.

Honestly, no matter the quality of the preaching, or the clarity of the examples, every gambler learn better having experienced some really big hurdles, those that perfectly understand gambling in moderation are the guys that have either been addicts like myself, or lost considerable amount that got them disadvantaged that they felt the pain and had a swift turnaround and became a disciplined gambler.

No matter how you advise him not to gamble with his last cash, he might be thinking you're against his progress until he does it and loses, then he will fully understand the length of the irrationality associated with his careless decision, as you rightly said, when he's exhausted his funds and he's possibly trekking home hopefully under the hot sun, he'll really understand how foolish he has been and will make a resolution to act more modestly next time.

yeah right, when you reprimand them, they'll just think that you're always against what they're doing and they might even think that you're the one who gives them bad luck once they lose gambling. Sometimes even though they have experienced losing a large amount, they still don't learn and if you look at it, they continue to gamble, worst still they are really looking for a way to make money, that's where their borrowing comes in so most of them are drowning in debt until they gradually run out of all their important equipment because that is what is used to pay the debts.

people in debt shouldn't spend their time gambling in reality...
way better to pay off debts first and chill and then gamble after having your financial life at least in minimum order...
safer like that.

but I know most of the people don't live their lives in a responsible way...
that's cool too
