Seriously, taking out a loan for gambling?
This is a very sure path to the abyss of life destruction.

If you've already started taking out a loan for gambling, it means you're already in a situation where you're already quite addicted, without realizing it, to satisfy your urge to continue gambling.

How do you repay the loan by multiplying it in gambling? No, no. Being addicted is already a mistake, and taking out a loan to gamble is a huge mistake too.
Like selling one's property to bury a dead loved one, means you lost two loved ones 😁

Being addicted is a mistake like you said, it's already a big mistake that needs to be corrected, but going ahead to borrow money to spend on gambling is another bigger mistake and like I did mention in my earlier comment on this topic, the later have lead to a lot of suicides than any of us would want to imagine.
Things like this are very important to talk about at all times because we never know who it might help now or in the future.

In as much as gambling normally is not a bad thing, it be also be very brutal and can be the source of a person's downfall if and when he or she is not able to control their self around gambling, not to even talk of borrowing money to spend on gambling which is way worser.

I know a lot of post has been made in this gambling board and I don't know if such has been created, but what I want to say is a situation that happened to a close friend

My friend is a gambler, a serious one for that matter. Some days ago he asked me to borrow him money to gamble and I told him not to borrow money to gamble but gamble with what he can afford to lose but he refused. Instead he went ahead to borrow from another person to pay back with interest, gues what?
He loss the game and now he is owing Capital and interest together that will surely be paid now he keeps blaming me that If I had given the loan to him, that he would have just owe me the capital without interest.

>>>>Now the question remain that Is it good to take loan to gamble?

>>>>Or is there some game that worth risking to an extent of taken loan?

Gambling with borrowed money is hardly a good financial decision. But your friend was probably in a desperate situation, or he is suffering from gambling addiction. Now, from his point of view, the situation really looks like you refused to help him and he was forced to borrow money at interest. I'm afraid he won't even be able to understand your refusal of a loan as an attempt to protect him from a bad financial decision or gambling addiction.

Gambling with borrowed money is hardly a good financial decision. But your friend was probably in a desperate situation, or he is suffering from gambling addiction.

I'm afraid he won't even be able to understand your refusal of a loan as an attempt to protect him from a bad financial decision or gambling addiction.
People think and reason differently, you are right that the op did try to save him from bad financial decision but unfortunately for him, he did not understand because he was already addicted to gambling and the urge to gamble at that time was already there and pushing or controlling him.

It's even good that he resorted to borrowing money with interest and not stealing, this would have been the worst of all as I have seen some addicted gamblers who ended up being beaten and taken to prison due to stealing money.
Concerning the losing the borrowed money, it's unfortunate that the deed has already been done and there is no way to reverse it other than him paying back the borrowed money before the interest gets too high and he is unable to pay it, and hope this teaches him a lesson and he finds a way to ensure he never finds himself in this type of situation again.

I'm afraid he won't even be able to understand your refusal of a loan as an attempt to protect him from a bad financial decision or gambling addiction.
Gambling addiction, even taking out loans with interest to gamble, poses a significant risk, and the potential for loss is significant. Excessive anxiety can lead to a lack of confidence in placing bets, deepening the hole and deepening one's problems.

There is no justification for taking out loans to gamble, as gambling is a high-risk form of entertainment, with little chance of winning.

I don’t know what gives some people the confidence to an extend they will borrow money to gamble. As for me, I can't bring myself to borrow money for gambling, even if I'm expecting money from somewhere. I will never borrow money just to gamble.But from the story you shared, if I viewed your friend as a gambling addict, that could explain why he decided to borrow money to gamble. He likely had some belief that even though he was borrowing, he would still win and pay it back. That might be the reason he’s blaming you as he feels you’re the one who should’ve lent him the money without interest.One thing about addicted gamblers is that they always have hope that, if they gamble more, they’ll get lucky and win. But that’s a very wrong idea. My advice to everyone is: always gamble with what you can afford to lose.

this is one of the things that we are supposed to keep a standard by not taking any money from anybody to to participate in gambling because theirs every probability that we are not going to win when we gamble, so we don't need to bring ourselves so low to borrow and gamble, myself I see such a thing as a messed up, so we are not supposed to welcome such ideas, they are people who is very serious to gamble and those people are the people who don't understand side effects of gambling, and they always expect wining and that's why the borrow and gambles, such decision is not idea that someone because of gambling that he or she know that theirs no assurance in gambling and the person went to borrow and gamble

Seriously, taking out a loan for gambling?
This is a very sure path to the abyss of life destruction.

If you've already started taking out a loan for gambling, it means you're already in a situation where you're already quite addicted, without realizing it, to satisfy your urge to continue gambling.

How do you repay the loan by multiplying it in gambling? No, no. Being addicted is already a mistake, and taking out a loan to gamble is a huge mistake too.
For real, dreaming of paying the loan and making some for yourself. They think they’re going to hit two birds with one stone, but in reality, they’re just picking up a stone and hitting their own feet. Lol. Just pure stupidity. I’m embarrassed to say that I’ve been there. That’s one of the worst decisions you can make as a gambler, a total destruction indeed. Clearly going beyond what you can afford, and to make it worse, it's from a loan.

I know a lot of post has been made in this gambling board and I don't know if such has been created, but what I want to say is a situation that happened to a close friend

My friend is a gambler, a serious one for that matter. Some days ago he asked me to borrow him money to gamble and I told him not to borrow money to gamble but gamble with what he can afford to lose but he refused. Instead he went ahead to borrow from another person to pay back with interest, gues what?
He loss the game and now he is owing Capital and interest together that will surely be paid now he keeps blaming me that If I had given the loan to him, that he would have just owe me the capital without interest.

>>>>Now the question remain that Is it good to take loan to gamble?

>>>>Or is there some game that worth risking to an extent of taken loan?
I don’t know what gives some people the confidence to an extend they will borrow money to gamble. As for me, I can't bring myself to borrow money for gambling, even if I'm expecting money from somewhere. I will never borrow money just to gamble.But from the story you shared, if I viewed your friend as a gambling addict, that could explain why he decided to borrow money to gamble. He likely had some belief that even though he was borrowing, he would still win and pay it back. That might be the reason he’s blaming you as he feels you’re the one who should’ve lent him the money without interest.One thing about addicted gamblers is that they always have hope that, if they gamble more, they’ll get lucky and win. But that’s a very wrong idea. My advice to everyone is: always gamble with what you can afford to lose.

Borrowing money to gamble is the height of it all and only begins at the addiction stage of gambling. How will a person borrow money to play a game that you cannot determine who wins? I have seen many friends that do this, one of them kept borrowing until he had to sell his only plot of land from his father's inheritance to pay dept. It is good to gamble responsibly as even the casinos will always remind you of that. The first instruction in gambling is, don't stake what you cannot afford to loose. For someone who's borrowing money to stake, he's already going against that rule which, if he looses the game, how would he pay back? Even when you're expecting money, it still doesn't guarantee you to do such because you can't plan with money in another person's pocket. If you have a friend that has reached that level of addiction, counsel him and if he refuses to change, it's better you stay away from him to avoid blaming you in the future.

Your friend blaming you for his stupidity is the lamest thing. That's a solid red flag, bro. You should run from that friendship as soon as possible.

Now to answer your two questions.
1: No, it is never a good idea to take a loan for gambling. no matter how confident and expert gambler you are. Taking a loan for gambling, where the risk of losing is a lot higher than cthe hance of winning, is mere stupidity.

2: I don't think. I never seen any gambling platform where profit is guaranteed. every type of gambling has it's risks.

It's as risky as you loosing every thing you've ever worked for, and why on earth will people go such mile's to take up loans just to keep up their gambling activity it shows a high level of irresponsible gambling habits thus fueled by addictions. Yes it's said that one can take risk but the gravity of the risks taken should matter in every way and if one don't learn to control oneself they'll be controlled to take up drastic decisions, so not advisable to take loan for gambling motives.

Without being told this thing that just happened to your friend is quite enough for you to understand that taking a loan to play gambling is not something a gambler would ever thought of. Because doing that is putting yourself into more denger at the end of the day, just like as your friend is doing. However, it has been said several times here that gambling is not a place to make money easily but still most people are still going to the extend of taking a loans hoping they would going to become rich overnight.

Gambling is supposed to be a fun and entertainment with only what you can afford to lose because there is no guarantee of winnings in gambling it is only when the luck is on your side that you can get a win without that there is skill or strategy that can easily brings winnings in gambling.

People who take loans to continue gambling after all the money they've got on them is exhausted are already far down the rabbit hole. Probably also chasing their losses too. It does show a level level of irresponsibility on the individual gambling and a hint of addiction as well.
Having some level of discipline and control over our urges to continue gambling and how much we spend before its finally enough would greatly help.

Gambling with borrowed money is hardly a good financial decision. But your friend was probably in a desperate situation, or he is suffering from gambling addiction. Now, from his point of view, the situation really looks like you refused to help him and he was forced to borrow money at interest. I'm afraid he won't even be able to understand your refusal of a loan as an attempt to protect him from a bad financial decision or gambling addiction.

Yes, you are right. You should tell your friend to get out of gambling addiction. Tell him not to gamble too much. Make him gamble based on his financial situation. Because if a person gets addicted to gambling, then a very bad situation will arise for him after a while. Because in gambling, it can never be said to be winning or losing. If you win one day by gambling and the amount of money you win, you will lose more money by gambling.

You can gamble but you have to set a budget depending on your financial situation. For example, after deducting all the expenses from your stable income, you can gamble with a certain amount of money from the amount that is left and if you lose, you can gamble the next month.

That's right. Those gamblers are already taking risks to continue gambling with borrowed money, having already lost their own wealth, and he knows that they will lose, but they keep trying to win because they are addicted gamblers. For them, it's not just a rabbit hole, it's a huge dark tunnel if they don't try to correct themselves and establish control over themselves. Their example is that they have become mentally disturbed by chasing losses and instead of gambling systematically, they keep playing randomly and losing more money. Patience and discipline are important for you to win.

That is the greatest mistake a gambling can make in life, because the risks that is associated with gambling it is not very advisable to be taken loans all in the name of gambling, because such gamblers that fall within the categories of taken loans to play games, you will see that such gamblers is already addicted to gambling and he extends by selling his properties just for gambling, let assumed that you taken of $100 to gamble and end of the gambling you were not able to realize the $100 back and the time given to you to pay back the loan you have taken, such gamblers will not only destroy his life but he also end selling things that he have just to pay back his loan. it is always advisable to gamble with the amount you can afford to lose.

Of course yes this kind of topics is all over the gambling discussion board but however it should always be found interesting talking about it because it is another way of refreshing memories of important things about upholding a good and responsible gambling practices, gambling shares no guarantee of a possibility of winning which is first risk then using money that is not your's to gamble is more like a double risk which is very wrong and a suicidal mission, no game poses such features of guaranteeing a winning hence it doesn't worth the risk of borrowing money to gamble.

Taking a loan for the sake of having huge capital is a big mistake. Gambling is not something worth taking the risk for. Why can't we gamble using ONLY the money we have, which, in fact, we just gamble to have fun? Unless we intend to make gambling a source of income. But, whatever it is, we should think that gambling is just for entertainment. We stop believing that gambling could make us rich. There is no assurance of such a belief. If we can see that some gamblers win the jackpot prize and change their lives, it doesn't mean we have all been given such a chance.

I can tell you from my own experience it is better not to lend money  it does not matter if it is a friend, a relative or someone else. A person can gamble away what he asks you for this is usually what happens. And then, when he has nothing to pay back, he begins to ruin relations with you, swear, get offended, especially when you ask questions about the debt. If he gives it back once be prepared for the fact that after a while they will turn to you again. And next time you may not get your money back, and also lose a close relationship. If a person is dear to you it is better to set boundaries in matters with money from the very beginning.

Well done, i agree with this too, and I've even explained why. If a gambler gets to the point of borrowing money, then he's already done for; it means he's entered the tunnel.
The only good thing you can do is make him understand that he has a problem.

>>>>Or is there some game that worth risking to an extent of taken loan?

If you gamble by taking out a loan to fund your gambling account, it will significantly increase the risk of losing even more. For example, if you take a loan of $1000 to gamble, when you lose, you are actually losing not just $1000, but $2000. Not to mention, if you borrow with interest, that is very painful.
No game is worth that risk of loss. You can't think you will definitely win with borrowed money and double it after the game is over.

Even when the win is glaring right at your face, when it’s gambling, it’s not worth it. You should gamble with money you are willing to loss and money that wouldn’t hurt so bad to loss it and borrowed money or loans doesn’t fit into that category. You might end up taking wrong bets and after loosing them all, you’ve still got to refund the loaned amount. This could easily lead to more gambling and more losses.
The winning you are thinking is glaring can even turn a loss in split seconds because that's how it is with gambling, to even trust so much in a particular win is dangerous especially in sports games where anything can happen at anytime and even in casino games, you can think you are winning until you see that the casino has na edge that keeps them miles ahead of you.

It is never ideal to borrow to gamble, even when you win you will not enjoy your winning completely because you have to pay back the loan and accumulated interest which would have piled up with the loan because usually from the moment you take a loan the interest begins to pile up so you will not have all of your wins to enjoy.
