What's your take on this matter?
Sad story, and I guess only one conclusion... don't be that guy, gamble only with money you can afford to lose. It's fine to spend a bit more from time to time, but going all-in with everything you have is one of the worst decisions ever. It's equally crazy to borrow money to gamble... it only brings problems, and there's a good chance those problems will be very serious.
We all remember that guy who sold everything he had and he placed a bet on roulette, I think it was on red, but he probably knew what could happen.
