If you have a family member or a friend with gambling problem, as in he or she is so addicted to gambling to an extend what he or she thinks about is nothing but gambling, if he or she ran into financial problems and come to you to loan he or her money. are you going to loan the person the money?
In this case, you cannot solve the problem with money because you helped a gambler with money and how long can you help him with money? Maybe you helped him once by giving him money, he gambled, and he lost the bet and came back to ask you for money. What would you say to comfort him? If he came back to ask you for money a second time, would you want to give him money? If you help him with money once, remember that every time he is defeated and cannot manage money, he will come to you asking for money again. What will you give him back?
