I have a cousin that really addicted to gamble and he just divorced because of it, he taking loan to his father in law and other person till hit couple of million IDR and cant make it back.
If you do gamble for fun and don't care if you losing the money then go ahead
Exactly, why must a gambler be afraid of losing money. He is not qualified to be a gambler if he is afraid of losing. A gambler must have a thick skin to over losses. Though every gambler has one kind of shock when playing gamble. And that shock is God let me win this game and if he didn't win, he will have that sober mode all over him.
Gambling is either you lose or you win. These are the two elements of gambling and there is no feature or factor that it is only on the winning side. And as it is said by many commenters, if the gambler is afraid to gamble then it is better he is away from gambling so that that losephobia will stay away from him as well.
