I got really worried over the habit of some friends who are into betting or gambling and how they often stake into a game in a week more than what they earn even in a month and most time are not able to get it back in a couple of plays. So it got me really worried and concerned
What would be your advice for such if they were to be your friends as a caring friend who want them to not get financially drained in the process?
If it is your best friends - let make some table and write in all their bets: sums, odds, loss/win. If the can analyze - they can calculate their win rate, summary loss. I think that it would be enough for the first step.
If it just mates - just leave them. They would become your enemies, you would be guilty in every problem in their life which would be connected with gambling. If they would be ready to change their life - make the same table.
