"A friend, A, shared his personal journey with me. It all began on a scorching afternoon when A embarked on his gambling adventure.
For the first three years, A didn't lose much or make bold bets. It was mainly due to the bonuses offered on forums. Occasionally, he lost his daily gambling allowance but never more than what he had in his wallet, leading him to pause temporarily. Gradually, A began participating in some small events and started accumulating winnings. When he looked back each year, he realized he could cover his clothing, food, entertainment, and even save some pocket money.
However, A's gambling journey took a nightmarish turn in July 2017. Due to an event outside the forum, he lost over 7,000 yuan. In anger, he threw the remaining few thousand into gambling, hoping to recover his losses. Unfortunately, he ended up losing 20,000 yuan in a sports event, a painful lesson for A. From that point onwards, A spiraled into the whirlpool of borrowing. Although he had never dealt with credit cards or loans before, his high credit score, backed by property and a car, enabled him to borrow 22,000 yuan. Starting from 2018, A found himself in an endless cycle of borrowing to repay, a rollercoaster ride of wins and losses. By the latter half of 2018, A had reached a low point in his life.
A discovered the term 'microloans' and began borrowing, repaying, and repeating this process. He lost 230,000 yuan once and 220,000 yuan another time. These significant losses pushed A to the brink of despair, sinking him deeper into the quagmire.
After the first loss of 230,000 yuan, A was fortunate to have some personal savings, and his younger brother lent him 70,000 yuan to cover the massive loss. After losing 220,000 yuan, he couldn't bring himself to borrow more from his brother, so he confessed to his parents. Despite their anger, his parents eventually helped him clear his debts. They demanded he quit gambling.
After years of gambling, A realized that the happiest times were during his early days of light gambling. Saving a little money and playing slot machines or even buying lottery tickets for a few dozen yuan provided entertainment. Now, he understands that he has lost far more than he gained in these years. Due to his extensive borrowing history, his credit score has plummeted, making it impossible for him to borrow more money. A considers this a blessing and has closed his credit cards. He has sworn off all lending platforms and vows not to let gambling control his life anymore. He hopes to return to the simple and happy times of the past. Reflecting on his experience, A sincerely advises us always to remember never to borrow money for gambling. Enjoying some bonuses on forums is already enough. Don't lose the privilege of light gambling in the end. Let this be a shared reminder!" |
