I was in pain today because of the incident that I saw in a physical casino shop. Although I am not a fan of going to physical casinos, I prefer playing my bet in an online casino, but today I wish to go to the physical casino so that I can see other gamblers and maybe get experience, but I end up sad.

In the casino, I saw an elderly man crying in regret. I was concerned to know what the cause of his tears was, so I woke up to him to ask, and then the man narrated what happened. The man told me that he works in a construction site from morning just to get something to feed his family, because they haven’t seen food since yesterday morning, so after work from morning to night, the contractor tells them that they will all be paid tomorrow, so he begs the contractor to give him some money for transportation. When the contactor gave him some money, he then had to take a walk to see the nearest casino so that he could use the money and stake a bet to buy something for his family to feed on. After he staked the money, he ended up losing the game. That is why he is crying in regret.

So I ask him, does he actually gamble? He said not at all; he just came to try his luck and find something to feed his family. Then I asked him, Can he still remember the mistake that he made when he staked his first money? Then he said he saw no mistake. All that is involved in gambling is luck. I said okay, I will give him money to try betting, because I also don’t have the money that will be enough to feed his family, so he staked another bet. To my surprise, he won the game and got the money he needed.

What I want to know is: Did I do a good job by using gambling to save him? Or do I just make him have an interest in gambling as a source of income?

You acted very noble, having done this, you helped this person in his difficult life situation. However, if he has such a bad life economic position, then he should not deal with gambling at all. Since this occupation brings chaotic money into life, as well as the loss of honest savings. And if someone has a family, then you cannot let chances determine your fate. Everything needs to be stable and calm. Therefore, I am against gambling among the poor.
