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?
Here is the
linkJust imagine what he did to himself, just in the name of seeing gambling as a get rich quick, without realizing the risks involved. That's why they always say that we should gamble what we can afford to lose. as a gambler don't take loans to play gambling, always try as much as possible to gamble what you can afford to lose. Because gambling is not a place to make quick gain, actually what really make him to commit the suicide is because he have check himself very well that he can't afford to pay back money. So that's why is always necessary for us to gamble wisely.
The temptation of winning big money will always be there so that makes many people willing to do many things to keep playing gambling including to borrow money. But yes, they don't realize and think about the risk so they keep borrow money from one person to other person. When their debt become big and don't know how to repay the money, they will think shortly to commit suicide because they think that will solve their problem. They don't think that suicide will gives more problems to their family so that is why we don't have to borrow money to playing gambling. We only need to use the money we can afford to lose so we don't break our limitation.
