Sharing your story will be a lesson for gamblers who think we can rich quick in gambling, well there's no such thing unless you hit the jackpot in lottery but its one in a million chance.
That's correct, we can learn from his story and as a gambler we don't need to experience loses just to learn.
By considering the risk in gambling, I'm pretty sure if we are discipline enough we will be able to control ourselves and manage our funds properly.
Gambling is very risky for us since we don't have an edge, thus we don't win most of the time, if this reality will sink into our mind, I don't think we will loss more than we can afford to loss.
