I’m not sure if this story was already shared here but I just recently watch this gambler sad story from social media that is really heartbreaking.

The subject is Terrance Watanabe which is a successful businessman who has a huge business and money that becomes addicted on gambling. He lose a total of 127M which is all his fortune that he earn from his business. Imagine all your hardworking was turn out to nothing after a few years of gambling addiction.

The sad part here was he became a victim of casino scheme of alluring user with their offers and allowing him to play while drunk until he loss everything.

He manage to wager a whooping 825M $ in just a single year when he lose that 127M.

By the way, what will the court do about this? So far the casino played by the rules and they are fair in other extra considerations of free will, I do not see how anyone can hold them accountable. The worst is to show compassion and give a rebate for his huge gambling activity. To start with, this was never gambled in a day to call them wicked by the court, it was done over time and I don't expect them to know his entire worth, especially if he is widely perceived as a rich man. This is a huge sum of money though and I am sincerely sorry for this guy, but it shows a lack of maturity, and foolishness at the same time, he actually perished in his own greed and irresponsibility and should be blamed entirely for this.

In between, what was done in a year, did the alcohol not clear at times so that he could retrace his step before it got this ugly? These are what the court would consider.

Do not go close to gambling if you do not have the nerves and senses for it, you are already rich, what else do you want to the extent that gambling now took hold of you? This is ugly! My rule with gambling is to have my plan before entering the house or opening the platform and abide by it, and if at all am under any intoxicant, I shall not take any extra action. He should have known better than that and I wonder what his PA, friends and associates are looking until he wrecked himself this much.
