Yes, I am sure that what you said is true, which is addiction that triggers various aggressive actions such as borrowing money or even other crazier actions such as stealing or robbing, and of course they are definitely irresponsible gamblers and this is usually caused by gamblers who from the start misunderstood what and how gambling really is, most likely they are too tempted by the name of victory or the chance of victory that makes them interested in getting involved in gambling.
Some general advice that is often said by others such as gambling with the amount of money you can afford to lose, we can actually conclude that gambling is recommended to be done with mature self-preparation to face defeat, and when it turns out that you force yourself to gamble with the funds borrowed, it means that you can conclude that you have deviated from various advice that leads to prevention.
I agree that a gambler's lack of understanding and preparation often leads to making irrational choices such as borrowing money just to continue gambling out of greed for winning big.
That's the worst side of it, you didn't borrow money to invest or do business, it's gambling you borrowed the money to do, this is foolishness and what difference does the person think the borrowed money could make when he had lost the initial money bet? This is madness and only addiction can cause it. Gamblers should know that gambling is not the door you knock on for money-making, better things are yearning for our loaned money than wasting it on gambling that will always have similar results which is negative if we are not smart with it.
