10 years of gambling yet still not making it, I think he really needs to find another way of making money already and stop focusing on gambling. He already wasted a lot of time on it while also losing a lot of money. He could have bought a car already if he saved all those loses.

Since you seem to be a close friend and have concern of him, its time you get to intervene and say something about what he is doing. A good friend would always lead a friend to a better life.
