I would avoid getting in debt in general, and that specially counts for gambling. Just weight out potential wins and problems that could arise if things don't go out as you planned. Potential losses could be much higher, specially if you borrow money from criminals
As much as possible on which i dont want to take up some loan or borrowing up money on something even if im shortage of money on something important but there are some exemptions to this.
If you are that not wanting to face up some problems later on then its better to avoid but if you are capable on repaying up that loan then it wont be an issue but if you are someone that who isnt that wanting to repay at the first place then that will be a problem. For a gambling scenario such as this then it is indeed a trap because once you are at loss then you are that being that impulsive and being emotional on which at the time comes then it will be that becoming that even more problem if you are just that not mindful at the moment that you are doing something. Gambling on what you can afford to lose and never having that kind of consideration on taking up even more step like getting a loan.
