Suicide isn't the best option, but I guess he wasn't left with many to choose from. These are the many reasons why as a gambler, you should be able to minimize your own risk and gamble with money you can afford to loss. Don't borrow money to gamble and there's no guarantee that you will make a win. The mistake a lot of these Gamblers keeps making is to think that they can actually make money from gambling and settle their problems. Gambling is all about being lucky and the guy in this case wasn't.
