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.

Sometimes the gambler invest and lose so big amounts that returning from that point seems too difficult. Think for a moment that anyone is gambling with considerable amounts and upon losing, he try to recover the lost and lose more. Some may even take loans to recover the loss and again try their luck only to lose again.

Without counselling or any advice given to them, they may reach a point where they are in a miserable financial state and even if anyone try to tell the the do's and don'ts in gambling, it may already be too late.

Haven't you heard people doing suiside upon losing in gambling, this is the reason that they are not been taught in the early stage on how to control the emotions and wealth in gambling.

Going after your loss is the deadliest thing to do as a gambler because it mostly ends up in regret because taking a loan to go after your loss might end you because you mostly have no solution or ways to pay that loan back when you lose the gamble. You will want to pay the loan back when you win the gamble and go after your loss. 
 
Although mostly this comes as a result of addiction or making yourself believe that you will win if you go after your loss because you will start having the potential of winning because your mind will convince you to go after your loss and committing suicidal acts based on debt that you accumulate in gambling, I have seen several cases like that.
