I remember having this kind of experience when I was still young. The ones who actually forced us to keep on playing are not just gambling addicts but gangsters, too. We cannot walk away with the winning money because they will just keep on playing, and they will use any means necessary just to keep us from the same space. We cannot even take a pee because they think we will run away.
They are using their watch and keys to their motorcycles as bets which made us more worried that we cannot get away anymore. Luckily, we are playing outside and some friends came over to check on us so we got away.
This is common in the hood areas.
They're getting commissions on their friends that are sitting with you in the table. And that's why, they're going to make you realize that there is no way out until you're out of money.
And thank goodness your friends were able to come and get you there because if no one will do, you're going to stay there for so long until they're able to recover every losses they've made in a gambling way.
But you know what the situation is when you're in there that there is no way out and you have to stay.
