From there, it's not a good response and action if you have to deal with failures and frustrations. As a gambler, we're very emotional and since it's attached with money, you'll be dealt into incurring more losses and financial loss upon losing control emotionally.

This could be the case, if a gambler has experienced severe depression as a result of frequently losing bets so that the money he has has run out and there is nothing left, then the gambler will think and immediately take action, it is better to borrow money from other people so that he can carry out his gambling activities and he didn't think with common sense first that the step he took was a big mistake for his future life.
Instead of feeling happy, he will soon experience regret, sadness and adversity.

Yes, this is based on losing control of their emotional feelings as you said above and in my opinion, this kind of experience will be experienced by gamblers who are seriously addicted, because this type of gambler is not able to control themselves well, which includes their mindset. They only think about how they can continue gambling.
If a gambler will continue to have that kind of mindset, he's nowhere to go. Many of his friends are going to be away from him if he has taken a loan already from them even they're paid.

Because out of the activity of being a gambler, they'll look to themselves being a partaker of their friend who's addicted and has the habit of taking loan for gambling.

Indeed, with those gamblers who feel frustrated, of course they will take big risky actions, such as continuing to gamble or even risking the last money they have, hoping that a miracle can happen with the gambling they do so that they can get a big win that can cover all the losses that have occurred, but unfortunately it's not as easy as you think. Even though they gamble with the aim of recovering losses, of course this does not guarantee that they will win, and another risky action is borrowing money to gamble, but such an action is certainly not right, because it will only make things more difficult.
Of course, everyone is not happy about losing money, but we have to be able to see what causes our money to be lost, with gambling it is something that can definitely make us lose money, so it is not strange to lose or lose money by gambling. Moreover, if you gamble with an uncontrolled emotional state, then big losses or losing more money is something that is certain to happen.
That's actually the start of the problem when we're about to chase and recover our losses. That sounds to be a plan but that plan will turn into disaster later on.

There's no need for more explanation about that because for sure that each of us have experienced that instead of recovering, the majority have to deal with more loss.
