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?

There’s so many cases like this recently in my country. Only weak people would do something like this—those who can no longer handle the situation. As someone who is also addicted to online casinos, the thought of suicide crossed my mind whenever I lost, but I realized that doing that would only make my problems worse or add more to them instead of solving anything. However, I can’t entirely blame them because that’s the extent of their ability to fight their problems. That’s why it’s important to have family and someone you can share your struggles with, even if it’s just to have someone to talk to who might be able to help.
