This is uncertain whether he will be able to earn the amount of money he lost by placing gambling bets in the future. Later he acted like a fool again by taking a loan and betting on gambling. I have lost gambling many times but later won but never won my lost money completely. I think you should only spend extra money on gambling because when you lose, the rest of the money will keep your family going. I have seen many people sell their wealth and gamble.
The first mistake a person getting into gambling can make is spending money that they have but aren't supposed to be gambled because they can't afford to lose it, and the second mistake they can make is taking a loan only to gamble with the borrowed money. You can't expect to take a loan, use the money for gambling, and win a lot of money from that.
A lot of gamblers think they will be able to get 2x or 3x of the borrowed funds and then repay what they have borrowed and keep the rest but in reality, it doesn't happen because gambling is not a way for anyone to earn money, it is not designed to make gamblers rich.
Someone should think of gambling as any other business. Why do we think are businesses started or created? To make money for their owners and not their customers.
