It sounds almost like a miracle, because even though big wins do happen (we hear about them from those who gamble, and most of us have at least once experienced what we consider a big win), for them to happen exactly when you need money and have no other way out – that’s extremely rare. For example, I’ve never managed to win like that at the exact moment when I urgently needed money.

Very rare to see that happen.
When we're in need and then instead of getting that money when we gamble, we get more losses.
That is why when I am in that situation, I don't think that gambling is the best option for me. I'd just ask someone to lend me money than to gamble and try my luck.

Relying on gambling as a breakthrough in times of financial challenges can even make the situation worse, mate. I have experienced an unexpected winning when I needed money most, but it only happen once and have not happened again. That's to say that such situation happens only by luck and after someone have experienced it ones they may not experience it again. So, if someone is trying to rely on such luck, they can make their case worse.

We shouldn't rely our immediate need through gambling.
It's only going to make the situation worst and we're going to regret that later.
But for those that haven't regret it, they might just look for it and they want to experience it themselves and in the end, they will say the same thing.

Of course, we shouldn’t rely on gambling to solve our financial problems. That’s not what I was recommending. I merely pointed out the undeniable fact that many people do just that, believing it to be a way out of what seems to them like a hopeless situation. Gambling creates the illusion of all kinds of potential gains, and that blinds a person—especially someone in a difficult position. It gives them hope, even if that hope has no rational foundation.
