That is just one of the causes or effects of gambling addiction when the gambler is addicted and has greed.
And if the story OP is telling is also true, you can also use terms that are not good for him because the system of greed has really swallowed OP. And I hope he was not depressed by that experience and that he overcame it.
I can say you didn’t even read what Op wrote. The reason I said so is that we are not talking about gambling here. This is a discussion about trading, which is different from gambling, but some people who have less knowledge about it will think that it is the same as gambling, which is not.
Furthermore, Op is not the main person who witnessed the incident, he also read it. I think it will be good for him to share the story, which is why I say you didn’t read the topic but just decided to post. That is why it is always good to understand something before you post something related to it, but maybe I will say that you probably couldn’t convey the information well, which is why you wrote your post this way. All I will encourage is that when posting, try posting something relevant to the post to which you are replying.
