Gambling when broke is totally a wrong idea because one is suppose to gamble with what you can afford to lose not what you don't have, this act show the gambler is addicted to gambling and if necessary measures are not put to place, then that addicted gambler might end up commiting suicide.
Being broke as a gambler that you don't have any money to place your game is better for you to avoid and stay out of gambling until when you have money then you can resume.
I often thought about ending my life after I lost a fairly large amount of money that I took from the bank. Then I was fired from my job. Can you imagine my state at that moment? It was on the brink. I thought that this was it, this was the end. It took me several months to recover from such a shock. All this was accompanied by daily reproaches and accusations from loved ones. The pressure was simply colossal in moral terms. I thought that I would not be able to withstand all this. Still, by some miracle, I managed not to commit suicide and began to get out of this difficult situation. It took several years to sort it all out. It was incredibly difficult, but I coped with this challenge. Now I understand that this was a lesson for me for life. You need to think ten times before making a decision.
