You can't always help someone by giving them money, it has to end after a while and this has to happen very soon, the help you can give to these people can only be therapeutic and there is no other way than trying to grit your teeth and understand that you can't live on gambling alone, in fact you have to make them understand that it is absolutely important to manage your money
Giving an addicted gambler money is like supporting them to fuel their gambling desire cause the first thing the person would think of is to try again and recover what he's lost, it's not helpful. I know out of pity one might be willing to give them back what they've lost to a particular casino but in the right sense instead of helping such person with money it's best to help them correct their mentality, addiction is a disease but can be cured, through therapy that's is why addicted gamblers need therapeutic support than monetary support.
The idea of recovering lost funds is weak and absurd and I hope many gamblers would understand that gambling to recover lost funds can be nearly to impossible. I have been gambling for many years now and I have lose so much funds in the market and I know how it felt trying to recover your lost funds in the betting space.
Addiction is like a spirit that will keep telling us that we are about to miss an opportunity to make some crazy profits if we do not take a particular bet which is one of the reasons we keep seeing gamblers coming back to gamble with they hope it recovering all their loses.
