I tell you and is very bad for one to go extra miles in borrowing money to cover up for their gambling activities, it's sure a pure state of gambling addiction just like someone that can go miles to smoke or take illicit drugs.
Well borrowing money isn't that bad but the worst thing is that such addicts sell their household things and belongings of their siblings and other family members.
Some addicts often sell their wives items and some even forget all moral values and do worst things possible.
The addicts that are highly addicted don't really have any moral values and they could literally cross all lines.
A gambler shouldn't be borrowing money, what do you mean it is not bad? Only someone who has a job and doesn't do gambling is fit to borrow money, because when they get paid they can easily pay back their debt, but a gambler won't keep his promise, because the urge of gambling will make him fail his promise.
Before a gambler start selling a house because of gambling it started from small debts here and there, they must have hurt friends and families, borrow money from them and refused to pay, I am sorry but this is something I have experienced with addicted gamblers and they all have that one thing in common, owing so many people around them.
The next thing you will hear is they sold someone's valuable item or their own property to gamble or pay debt.
