Now he had decided to start the gambling again with the loan money to balance the previous loss of 2000$.What is your opinion on this,I had suggested him to go to the regular job to reduce the loan in step by step to reduce the loan burden.But he had word of “We can earn,Where we had loss everything “.Share your opinion on this.
I don’t know if your friend is not possessed by something else. Why on earth will you make such a big mistake? You have done this before without having anything tangible. That alone is not enough reason for you to stay off gambling, but due to addiction and going after your losses to see if you can actually succeed in it, I won’t say anything for now because your friend will definitely regret his decision of putting in the money that he wasn’t able to get as a loan into gambling because gambling is a game of luck and they are people that will never find that luck in gambling to win anything; they are just there to lose, and with a slight doubt, I will say your friend is among them.

They need to learn their lessons the hard way before they change their mindset. So no need to force them to get out or let them find another job to pay the loan, they will in time alter their decisions in life. Because it is their life, and whatever path they would want to take, it is theirs. Because it is their business to attend their struggles in life. But of course, if they ask for your guidance or tips, you can always share your views in order to alleviate his life's situation or at least lessen the burden of what he is carrying owed to his wrong decisions in life.

You have a point, but it is not every time that you will let your friend learn in the hard way because it might end up affecting you as his friend and his family, not him. For instance, in this situation, if he goes to collect another loan to continue playing games and he ends up losing all the money and also has nothing to pay the loan, he will end up committing suicide, and if that happens, his family will be responsible for paying the loan. And if that happens, you, as his friend, will like to be involved. If the family has less effort to pay the loan, you will find it hard to endure seeing your late friend's family suffer because of his mistake. 
 
That is why you have to prevent it the first time rather than wait for it to occur. You will find it hard to cure, so to me, it doesn't seem like a nice idea to let him learn the hard way because it might be dangerous.
