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?
That is complete bullshit. If you really wanted to help him, you could have bought some cheap food at least within your budget. But you decided to give him some money to gamble more. Don't you know that losing streaks could continue for a long time? I don't know in which universe you are living in. You just made him think that he can gamble with the money and can't multiply his money so he can feed his family. What if the guy comes to the casino again with his entire salary with the hope of winning something but later loses them all? Would you take any responsibility? I don't think you will be there.
