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.

Also, I think 3 years is a long enough time, so they should be able to realize their gambling addiction and choose to stop. Because after all, many stories are sadder because they lost their wealth in a short time, such as in a few days or just overnight. So, with him losing his fortune in 3 years I think that is a long time, and that person should be able to choose to stop gambling in the bad moments he experienced during that period. But unfortunately,this person actually chooses to continue gambling, until he ends up losing everything and that is a risk that must be accepted with bitterness and deep disappointment.
