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.
A similar thing that happened to you is capable of happening to anyone else, and this gambling thing that is seen today as a scheme to get some extra cash is nothing near that because no matter how lucky you are in the gambling space, you will hardly get back the same amount of money that you have lost in gambling back in the assessment of people that were very lucky to get a higher jackpot. You will see one or two bad things that will definitely affect them. Some might even leave a lavish life, spending all the money that they have, while others will definitely lose everything, either through rubbery or an orderly calamity that might affect them. Some might even die, and even if they win the jackpot, even if they keep gambling, they still won’t win. That is just how gambling works.
