I know of a Thai doctor who lost everything gambling. He destroyed the lives of his father, mother, sisters, and friends from whom is borrowed large sums of money and will never pay back, as he promised he would. Everyone believed in him. He was wonderfully successful, a world traveler, drove a Mercedes, and very generous. However, he was a total moron when it came to gambling. It destroyed his life. He had to leave the country as the sharks were after him.
