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.
Those are the characteristics of people who are addicted to gambling, they cannot use their common sense properly, namely they dare to bet with a large amount of money with the aim of wanting to win or more precisely wanting to increase the money they have so that people who are addicted to gambling appear more confident and aggressive in every session of gambling that they run.
And this looks like a fool because he is not yet aware and understands properly that gambling is a matter of luck even though the gambler is pursuing victory to the point of using any means if he is not lucky, he is still not lucky, all that will happen is draining his energy and spending his money for nothing.
