I am a seasoned and experienced gambler and my one piece of advice to people is to only bet what you can afford to lose otherwise you are setting yourself up for failure.

Cases like this have happened several times, and every time I hear news like this I am always surprised to see how much money they spend just to chase their losses. Especially in this case, 400k USD is not a small amount of money, it is a lot of money, and how he used it without thinking makes it clear that he is an aggressive and irresponsible gambler. This can be a lesson for us gamblers and also a reminder that when you are irresponsible and cannot control yourself not to gamble, then what will happen is that you will become like this man - who acts only based on your lust and your greed, and in the end you will lose all your money, and that will not only harm you, but also your family who shouldn't feel that way.

Yes that's completely true, however that amount is a very large amount for most people, and of course it is really difficult to accept the fact or situation that you lost that amount just by gambling, and as you said that from the amount of defeat then we can already conclude about how aggressive the person is in treating his gambling. And the incident started due to not being able to accept or take responsibility for the previous loss which ultimately made the person trapped in the act of chasing losses which ultimately made him lose more significant amounts of money.

Right, in conclusion, the incident is really a lesson for us that when we cannot be a responsible gambler then yes, of course in the end the downturn will befall us, and that is very certain. So the point is to try to improve your approach to gambling, try to only make decisions that are in accordance with our abilities, limit the acceptance of victory and learn to be responsible for all the decisions we have made.
