Most addicted gamblers themselves push away people who could help them in a difficult situation. Deep down they realize that they make mistakes only through their own fault, but not everyone wants to admit it openly.
If we talk about Bestov, I am very surprised that he is still at large with debts of ~$270k. I find his idea of an advisor very interesting, but I always think it's better to learn to limit yourself.
I am also incredibly surprised that you can have such large debts and freely walk the streets, not sit in prison, or not be beaten for these debts. Honestly, I hope his example will not make many gamblers understand that you can simply not pay back the money and try to live on. Let's see how Bestov will do in the future, but you must agree, it cannot be surprising that he is not depressed or has not gone crazy from fear and hopelessness.
It seems to me that he has not only a mental disability, but an extreme stage of gambling addiction which is why he is so irresponsible not only for his losses, but also for his huge debts. In my opinion he needs compulsory treatment for gambling addiction as he can't handle it on his own. I was very surprised how in his latest video he asks a complete stranger to him, blogger Melstroy, to give him over half a million dollars to make a few more bets so he can pay off his debts.
