Just as the title say, a man has committed suicide after losing a bet of about #2.5m which is equivalent to $1.525k. according to the story the young man took a loan from his friend which was about $731+ adding to his own $792.6 and used it to stake in an online bet to make some money after undergoing a long time of poverty, unknowing to him that gambling is for fun and not a business or poverty alleviation program, he committed suicide after losing the money because of being afraid of paying back that amount he felt that taken his life will be the best option because he has not hope of paying back that amount..
The question now is that
1) is it necessary to take loan to gamble when we have no intention to pay back?
2) is it necessary to commit suicide if such mistake has been made?
This is the reason why we keep telling only play gambling that you afford to lose because not all day is a celebration of wins in gambling most of the games are just total number of losses even you manage to win one but if you tried to count it out still considered as a lose, imagine taking a loan and you didn't win just you make yourself down into your debts imagine if you have a self control you lose your game and you didn't take a loan you consider already just lose the game and money you have without thinking how to pay any debts. Sad to say people seeing that's the only last way.
