Would have loved to know how the story ended up later on for you, but I am guessing it wasn't so good, as I can already imagine it, and some experiences are better left unsaid since saying them can cause us to remember pains that we have long forgotten, and this may lead us to being emotional when we ought to be happy.
Anyways, happy for you that inspite of the challenges you must have gone through, you were able to make it out successfully and today, you can tell the story as one of your bad gambling experiences and lesson for others to learn from as well.
I believe every gambler out there at one point in their life have made one silly mistake that cost them good money and cursed them much pain, I myself is not an exception, but wouldn't want to talk about that at the moment.
After I lost all my money down to the last penny, a very dark streak in my life began. Yes, and it turned out that I had to quit my job. Can you imagine the situation? I was left completely without a livelihood, absolutely nothing. I had to go through such hell that I would not wish on anyone. On the one hand, I tried to somehow survive, and on the other, I had to deal with collection agencies that were extorting money from me. Threatening calls came in day and night. They said that they would deal with me physically and even kill me if I did not give back the money I borrowed. In addition, I owed not only the banks, but also some acquaintances. That is, I was in debt everywhere and everywhere. Good acquaintances with whom I had communicated for many years turned their backs. Yes, I returned the money, but I lost their trust and respect once and for all. We no longer communicate. My close relatives were also in a state of shock from what I had done with such a prank.
