Lucky enough, I have not suffered any serious consequences because of gambling. I think the only moment I made a mistake that almost cost me a lot as when I gamble with money that was mine. That period was hell for me after losing. I have to go look for petty jobs which wasn't easy at all. Finally I settled the money but ever since then I dont dare gamble with money that is not mine.
Those that had there gambling experiences that way was the worst especially when the person gave you the money to hold for them till the next day they would be needing it and the money is being used and lost in gambling, the situation the person will be on that day could caused them a psychological problems because of thinking how they would get the money before the following day the owner will come for it because there is no how the person will agree to any story concerning the money not being available so actually that's one of the most bitter experience if one started that way on there gambling.
