A true gambler is not born that way; they were once ordinary people like everyone else. It's just a chance, a hint of greed, step by step leading them into the abyss...
When first entering the casino, everyone is quite cautious, starting with careful bets, primarily for entertainment. At this stage, most people can still control themselves.
Gradually, two changes may occur:
Your bets seem to be getting larger because when you lose a hundred thousand and want to win it back, you will inevitably increase your wager.
You have experiences of losing 50,000, losing 100,000, losing 150,000, and then winning it back. These experiences may seem useless for gambling, but remember, they accumulate and lurk until one day they come to destroy you.
Anyone familiar with gambling knows never to let a gambler have extra money, especially those who often borrow money from others.
They will cry and confess to you every time, telling you that due to various reasons, they owe gambling debts and are unable to repay. Then, family members try every means to raise money to repay the debt, just to get you back. In reality, many gamblers express profound gratitude, only to return to their old ways after a few easy days.
After a few days, with a sense of unwillingness, they borrow again and continue gambling. After a few cycles, family members become powerless and can only choose to give up.
For every gambler who cannot turn back, the most significant characteristic is: unable to accept losses, unwilling to give up, and unyielding! At the sight of money, they will think about recovering their losses. Although each time ends in a whitewashed outcome, as long as they have money, they will continue the cycle.
Whether it's borrowed money or illegally obtained funds, in their eyes, it's all gambling capital to recover losses.
So when you really consider lending money to a gambler, you must be discerning; otherwise, your money will be like throwing it into the sea.
Teaching a gambler to control themselves is often a hopeless task. After all, very few gamblers can achieve it. May everyone gamble responsibly, and do not regret a lifetime for a momentary pleasure. If you must lend money, be discerning, and don't casually lend your hard-earned money to others. |
