This is theft regardless of whether he won the thread or not. There is one thing about using other people’s money for your own personal use, karma will get up to you and you’ll regret your actions some day. This is a reminder that gambling is indeed not a way to see yourself doubling your income or wealth, it is a game of luck and when the luck doesn’t shine on you, you’ll end up losing the money and can cause you to be disappointed and traumatized for the rest of your life if the money lost cannot be condone to move on with.

This man has tarnished his image in the community and that of his family. And for what he has done, he’ll be labeled a thief and will serve the punishment of imprisonment and still lose his job. We should not see gambling as a way out of poverty but a way to have fun with and not for the intention of making money as many as seen it has.
