The more I get into this section and keep reading comments from this post, the more I realize that people understand exactly how things work, but just for "discussion" sake, they keep bringing it up. You can imagine how many comments have been made under this post already?
Isn't it enough for anyone to understand that being broke is, practically the lack of money? Then why should someone decide to gamble when they don't have money to pay for it? Sort yourself out and get something doing -- gambling should be the least of your problems
I think a lot of topics(this one included) has been extensively talked about already, especially on this board but keep reappearing, being asked in a different way and tone likely for the sake of bringing up discussions. Such topics, being redundant would then go on to have a handful of good, quite useful contributions and then a sea of also contributions all saying more or less the same thing.
Everyone understands that no money equals being broke. And even if it's seemingly common sense not to gamble with the last money in your possession, a lot of people still go ahead to do it. And later regret it. People actually use the last money they've got having high hopes of winning some more for themselves.
