The dangerous part is it feels good, thats the problem, I would warn him regardless, gambling is dangerous.

I don't know if I should be happy and sad at the same time, because what if this went the other way? For the fact that this person has gambling problem already is a plus to why I might not help him another day.

Now he won 840k, what he will do with this money will reflect the type of person he have grown to be, maybe still addicted or not, only time will tell.

[tusandii]

I know the feelings of the person who provided the assistance, he must not be happy because his friend won while he himself lost, gambling is a matter of luck and the person was indeed experiencing good luck so he did not lose money for nothing. Even so, it is good news and the person can advise his friend to be wise in using his winnings and if he has a conscience, should share the winnings with that person because it was thanks to that person that he was able to win the bet.

At first it seemed like everything was going very smoothly, but he didn't know what would happen in the future. It could be that he is even addicted, and this is very dangerous for both parties, the borrower and the lender, especially as it is not in accordance with his principle values ​​as he says.

If i were that person, i would tell him the impacts that would happen to him, so that undesirable things don't happen, especially if he is a close friend.

[jcojci]

I will not do anything except just smile with his winning. I don't want to ask about my money as a help for him to place his bet before. But I will warn him about the danger of playing gambling and hope he can win for the next match because that will not always happen. If he doesn't want listen me and still placing his bet, I will not give him the money anymore. I just worry if he can not control himself and becomes addicted to gambling because I also responsible with what happen to him as I gives him the money.

even though he was fortunate enough to have won, there is no way I'm going to be comfortable enough to lend him some money in the future even when he is facing a pressing need because it's going to always seems like he will end up using the money to gamble. this is just a case of gambling and if you are a gambler you would think that this is nothing too serious until someone uses your money to put into something that is a no no for you.

i would take my money back and will definitely be angry at him. as an addict or someone that is at the verge of getting addicted, the last thing to do is to allow yourself gamble with the money someone has given to you and if he intentionally collected the money because he wants to make use of the money for gambling, then it means that his gambling addiction has gone really far. if he can borrow a huge amount of money and use it for gambling, then it is certain that the N840k he won will still go back into gambling.

If someone gambles with money from me and I don't understand it before borrowing it, if I understand it later, I will feel very bad because he lied to me and borrowed money to participate in gambling. However, if he is really addicted to gambling, he must be explained that gambling is very dangerous. If he participates in this gambling, his life will be ruined in the future, not only his life will be ruined, but his entire family will be ruined. However, if such a person ever comes in my life, I will not lend him money. Before lending him money, I will definitely know the details. If he borrows money for a good cause, I will lend him money, especially after hearing from an important member of his family.

There are many gamblers around my house who have taken loans from me several times for gambling but till now they have not been able to repay the loans. When took the loan, he initially took the loan for the education of his son and daughter but it turns out that he did not take the loan for the education of his son and daughter but originally took the loan for gambling. When such people come to me now, I do not help them with any money because I know that they will gamble with the money. I have explained to them many times but they do not understand at all. They think that they can become very rich from gambling.

[Kelward]

If I hate gambling and someone that I helped financially uses the money to gamble, my reaction will depend on whether he told me what he needed the money for. If he told me that he needed the money for something else and I found out that it was for gambling, I won't be happy with him even if he won his bet. If there was no question asked about what he needed the money for and he used it to gamble, I'd wish him well but I'll likely not give him financial assistance or loan him money again. That being said I personally don't like to gamble with borrowed money or use money that was given to me as help to gamble because I can lose it. It is better to gamble with your own money, so that the win or lose will be totally on you

If i gave money - it is out of my business how he spend the money. Except situation when i give money for some purpose. There are two right ways here as for me. First step the same - get money back. The second step depend on you point of view. You can forget this situation and give money again if he need, or you can don`t give money. Talking about it - silly. Just decide what to do if the situation repeat.
PS. I`d prefer don`t give money - this "someone" has problems with gambling, it is risky to give him money.

How much did he borrow to win that amount? Also I will like to know how much he used to bet to win that amount? These are what that will determine my reaction.

Example is if he borrow $200 to win $500. Can you see how risky that is? He may eventually lose the money if he continues to bet. But if he borrow $20 and used just $10 to win $500 and I know about it, I will not see him as an addict.

But regardless of anything, I will be disappointed to see someone that I borrowed money to use the money or part of the money for gambling or betting. Very bad.

It is clear that the guy to whom he lent money should give part of the funds back to the one who lent him. This is normal human gratitude. And if I were the guy who lent the money, I would say to the gambler, "You won a lot of money, and it happened thanks to me, I will be glad if you have not forgotten this."

If I did not know how problematic addiction works, I would be happy for that gambler. But as far as I know problem gamblers, this guy will lose all this money in a year. And the casino knows this very well, so I am 95 percent sure that the gambler will eventually clear his deposit.

If you see gambling risky, and did not want to gamble, don't change your mind when someone won big and informed you about this big win. Because even that gambler won't be able to win big again in near future, and if you hope too high that you can win big because someone win big, it's unrealistic.

Additionally, do things you are mastering with your money, and don't try to use your money for trials and experiences with new things. It's best way to lose your money very quickly and don't know reason of failure.

Be responsible with your money and personal finance, and if you gamble, do it responsibly too.

Indirectly it means helping someone to continue gambling, clearly it is bad activity if the capital used is from loans or help from others but on the other hand he gets win and makes number of profits but in the end it is bigger capital to continue gambling and if he is an addict maybe something worse can happen.
I like to gamble but will never be happy when I see the person I helped use the money given to gamble even though in the end he won, in conditions like this it will create habit of trying to ask for help from others when they have run out of money.

Help is help, as long as you were happy to help him financially when he asked for the money, it shouldn't be a problem if he used the money to gamble. He was also lucky to multiply the amount that you gave to him, which means that your money brought luck to him, and that's good news. However, since I don't like gambling, I will tell him not to gamble anymore because I hate it, if he wants me to continue helping him financially and if he doesn't, I wouldn't help him financially anymore.

[Apocollapse]

Does that mean the lender is someone who view gambling as haram? it's not surprising he don't like that.

I honestly don't like such people too, but I still want to receive the money because it doesn't against my values, but I'm concerned with his attitude, who knows he will broke in the future and can't pay back the loan.

Help is help, as long as you were happy to help him financially when he asked for the money, it shouldn't be a problem if he used the money to gamble.

It doesn't as easy as that, most people don't want to give money for gambling even though they're broke and struggling to meet their needs.

Lol, I laughed reading this mate, I can imagine how you will feel when he had called you.. though I wonder how it would be if he actually played and lost a lot of money.. he would have still called you to tell you how he lost the game. For me, Im not actually the type of person that advice others when it comes to gambling. That's because someone might later come to blame you for his failure to understand that gambling is risky and a game you do for fun. What we shouldn't expect from gambling is winning all the times we place bets. Since he was happy with your advice, you should just celebrate with him as well but then tell him to not make it an addiction for himself. Gambling is fun when we know our limits and play while being risk cautious..

From the story we can conclude that before providing help we should be careful and prefer to give it to people who are more difficult in terms of economy but not to gamble, but apart from that if I am in this situation, I may also feel mixed between happy and disappointed, On the one hand, I will be happy that the person managed to win and maybe be able to improve his financial situation with the win,   On the other hand, I will feel uncomfortable because the money I give is actually used in gambling, but apart from these two situations, of course, at least I can know someone personality so that I can be more careful in the future in providing help to others.

Simple and short. I will first ask him what if the lost the game that means he would not had made use of the money for what he ask of it for because of he had made the request to gamble I would not had given it to you.
Then, congratulations to o him follows.

But I will withdraw helping out next time he will be of my financial need because I sense he is an addicted gambler who could use a budgeted fund of something important to gamble and so on there is most tendencies that he would keep loosing since Lossing chances is more than winnings.

[aoluain]

Firstly I would expect the amount i loaned him to be reimbursed. Secondly I
would give some gentle advice about the dangers of borrowing money to gamble.
Thirdly I wouldnt loam him money again in order to feed his addiction - and
I would make that clear to him.


In terms of the man on X - I can understand his frustrations but on the other
hand he didnt stipulate that the money loaned was not to be used for gambling!

I'm sure he will know the next time when he is asked for a loan.

[BABY SHOES]

I have a principle of not borrowing money to gamble with anyone... if I give a favor to a friend and then don't know that the money was used for gambling for me it doesn't matter because I don't know myself... it would be nice if they can return it on time.

But after all I know I won't lend again even if it's a close friend or even if they can return the money on time... I don't care, maybe at that time he was lucky, what if he was losing more, of course paying the debt would be even more difficult.

So don't borrow money from those who gamble.
