A Singaporean woman has lost RM240,500 (S$100,500) at a casino in her desire to recoup an earlier loss of RM500.
The woman said she tried to win the money back by using all her savings as well as borrowing money from others, local media reported.
Junyang700 from popular online forum SgForums commented: “You may be able to say control, but when you are at the gambling table, your mind (tells) you to win back what you lost.”
The woman holds two masters’ degrees and is a professional. She plans on not disclosing it to her family and is looking for loans to dissolve her debts. “I am worried that my husband may divorce me if he finds out,” she said.
