I'm pretty sure I will never do such a thing...

I wouldn't like to borrow money even if I was needing...

I have always built funds first, then play within my true bankroll. I would only lend money in small amounts that won't ever become an issue later.

No - I've never borrowed money for gambling, actually I'm against borrowing money in general... still, as it's about gambling - I've been a recreational gambler for 10+ years (mostly poker and sports betting, but also a bit of different casino games * pretty much only at local casino as I do it for the live experience, I'm aware that it's tough to make a profit without putting a lot of work/research/time into it...), so over the years, I've seen people borrowing money from each other and in many cases ruining relationships because of it - I've always worked on bankroll management for both IRL stuff and gambling to avoid this kind of situations... I also have the opinion that if you can't afford to lose some money - you shouldn't gamble, no matter how much fate you have in your abilities to beat the games* even for poker, where skill is very important, the 'luck' factor especially short term can 'eat' your money and leave you broke, that's why bankroll management is so important...

I have several friends who have borrowed money from me on several occasions to gamble. I think it's stupid, but everyone decides for themselves how to spend their money, even the money they borrow. I've never done it myself.

I borrowed money a few times when I lost what I had with me during the evening. But I didn't borrow much and I clearly understood that I would be able to return the money the next day.

No, I’ve never borrowed money to gamble. If I can’t afford to lose it, I shouldn’t be betting it.

I don’t think borrowing money to gamble is ever a good idea.
If you can’t afford to lose it, it shouldn’t be in the gambling bankroll.
Better to take a break than turn a bad session into a bigger financial problem.

I’ve never borrowed money to gamble. If I want to play, I only use money that I can afford to lose and consider it entertainment money. If I lose it, I simply accept the loss and move on..... :coffee:
