DOTW: Vinu and his gambling habit

Will Vinu be able to stop?
All gamblers believe there is that one chance, that one chance that will
change life for them, that one chance that will bring Lakshmi to them, to
strike it rich.
Vinu now is at a juncture where he has lost quite a fair bit but is unable to
stop as he still believes in that one chance.
How far will he go?
Will Mamaji find out and put a stop to this?

A long time ago, my friend's father used to place bets on horse races, he
even mortgaged his house etc, he lost everything in millions and he hung
himself in his bedroom when it come time to pay. My friend was just 13
years then. He left behind a wife and three kids who had to fend for
themselves.

There are many such stories. Many women approach the helplines with
this problem. In cities and countries where there are casinos, this must be
a perpetual problem.

Many gamblers end up borrowing from loan sharks who haress the family
after the culprit has absconded, leaving the family to pay the price.
Some even turn their wives into prostitutes to pay off their gambling
debts.

Gambling is such a vice that has far reaching reprecussions. Educational
status is no bar to this vice and certainly not financial standing.

It is an addiction.

What do you think?

u r very right, gambling is an addiction.

Bittu first made Vinu win a little amount so he gets addicted and then made him lose such a big amount that now its impossible to for Vinu to pay his debt.

In order to pay his debt Vinu is now sort of gambling with his sister's life. Hope he stops in time, even though it may be late now as well.

Sorry about ur friend. Nice topic for DOTW, will make it a sticky.

Truly said this gambling is an addiction. Even one of my friend's father was a gambler.. Becoz of so much loan finally he committed suicide. He is survived by his wife and 2 sons( 4 and 6yrs at that time).This happened some 10yrs back. Now they have paid 3/4th loan.

Now coming bk to DOTW. Vinu is getting totally into gambling and even gambling with his sister's life. Till he pays bittu bhai the money i think he will not leave Vinu stop gambling. Mamaji should find out what is happening with his money he gave to Vinu. Then i think he will bring back Vinu from the wrong hands. otherwise the good values setup by mamaji will be broken.
I wish that the wrong things will come to an end fast.

its true ... vinu's gambling habbit gave a gud way for malti to be successful😭

i dont thin mamaji is gonna find that out .. but i really wish malti is caught 😡 for what she has done she should be punished!!!

u are absolutely correct .... if a member of a family does it the whole family will be destroyed ....just as what my own uncle did .. and i know what happens in real life as i've seen it right in front of me 😭 😭
