For those who has always wanted and advocated gambling for fun, they are very unlikely to go ahead to borrow money or take loans to gamble and that is because they most likely do not gamble to make money, they just want to have fun and understand thay can not go that far an extent to have the fun so they have to just make sure to making sure their gambling is within their means and that which they can afford at almost all ti.ea and not such that will put them at unnecessary risk costing them their reputation and finance, getting a loan to gamble is one which I consider on an extreme side and is most common with addicts and not just gamblers who are gambling for fun.

Yeah, I think you are spot on in this issue.

I don't think I've ever seen a gambler that only goes gambling for fun or with some friends just to have a social time that actually ends up asking for a loan or spending more money than what they actually have.

I think it is mostly gamblers that are by themselves mostly and make these decisions based on so e distorted mental state they end up in.

I think the social aspect helps in keeping the mind in a rational state.

Yeah, those who are doing it for the sake of entertainment they are not prone in getting addicted as they are using spare money that dedicated alone with their gambling participation and afterwards, they will just move on and forget about whatever the outcome of their session, if they've consume everything then they'll treat it as payment for their enjoyment while if they manage to win, they'll take it as bonus and an extra for their celebrations..
