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.

Could this be seen as ordinary is this story is actually true? Sometimes I just wondered why someone would want to gamble so hard that they would be ready to lose up to a million dollars. Gambling addiction is one of the problems many gamblers are facing and we need to be wise and keep working hard to earn from jobs we are doing rather than depending on gambling to earn a living. It is quite interesting to listen to stories like this and I see it as an eye opener for us to learn from others mistakes so we don't indulge in such an that could make us a loser.
