Never twist if your initial hand is over 17.

What good for is Gambling? What benefits it got? Will it give you Satisfaction?

No, it is just "Maya" worldly goods, nothing from these will stay with you in the end . This The first lines Of Jap Ji Sahib tell us:

ੴ ਸਤਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਕਰਤਾ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨਿਰਭਉ ਨਿਰਵੈਰੁ ਅਕਾਲ ਮੂਰਤਿ ਅਜੂਨੀ ਸੈਭੰ ਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥

ੴ सति नामु करता पुरखु निरभउ निरवैरु अकाल मूरति अजूनी सैभं गुर प्रसादि ॥

Ik▫oaʼnkār saṯ nām karṯā purakẖ nirbẖa▫o nirvair akāl mūraṯ ajūnī saibẖaʼn gur parsāḏ.

One Universal Creator God. The Name Is Truth. Creative Being Personified. No Fear. No Hatred. Image Of The Undying, Beyond Birth, Self-Existent. By Guru's Grace ~

Chant And Meditate:

ਆਦਿ ਸਚੁ ਜੁਗਾਦਿ ਸਚੁ ॥

आदि सचु जुगादि सचु ॥

Āḏ sacẖ jugāḏ sacẖ.

True In The Primal Beginning. True Throughout The Ages.

ਹੈ ਭੀ ਸਚੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਹੋਸੀ ਭੀ ਸਚੁ ॥੧॥

है भी सचु नानक होसी भी सचु ॥१॥

Hai bẖī sacẖ Nānak hosī bẖī sacẖ. ||1||

True Here And Now. O Nanak, Forever And Ever True. ||1||

ਸੋਚੈ ਸੋਚਿ ਨ ਹੋਵਈ ਜੇ ਸੋਚੀ ਲਖ ਵਾਰ ॥

सोचै सोचि न होवई जे सोची लख वार ॥

Socẖai socẖ na hova▫ī je socẖī lakẖ vār.

By thinking, He cannot be reduced to thought, even by thinking hundreds of thousands of times.

ਚੁਪੈ ਚੁਪ ਨ ਹੋਵਈ ਜੇ ਲਾਇ ਰਹਾ ਲਿਵ ਤਾਰ ॥

चुपै चुप न होवई जे लाइ रहा लिव तार ॥

Cẖupai cẖup na hova▫ī je lā▫e rahā liv ṯār.

By remaining silent, inner silence is not obtained, even by remaining lovingly absorbed deep within.

ਭੁਖਿਆ ਭੁਖ ਨ ਉਤਰੀ ਜੇ ਬੰਨਾ ਪੁਰੀਆ ਭਾਰ ॥

भुखिआ भुख न उतरी जे बंना पुरीआ भार ॥

Bẖukẖi▫ā bẖukẖ na uṯrī je bannā purī▫ā bẖār.

The hunger of the hungry is not appeased, even by piling up loads of worldly goods.

ਸਹਸ ਸਿਆਣਪਾ ਲਖ ਹੋਹਿ ਤ ਇਕ ਨ ਚਲੈ ਨਾਲਿ ॥

सहस सिआणपा लख होहि त इक न चलै नालि ॥

Sahas si▫āṇpā lakẖ hohi ṯa ik na cẖalai nāl.

Hundreds of thousands of clever tricks, but not even one of them will go along with you in the end.

ਕਿਵ ਸਚਿਆਰਾ ਹੋਈਐ ਕਿਵ ਕੂੜੈ ਤੁਟੈ ਪਾਲਿ ॥

किव सचिआरा होईऐ किव कूड़ै तुटै पालि ॥

Kiv sacẖi▫ārā ho▫ī▫ai kiv kūrhai ṯutai pāl.

So how can you become truthful? And how can the veil of illusion be torn away?

हुकमि रजाई चलणा नानक लिखिआ नालि ॥१॥

Hukam rajā▫ī cẖalṇā Nānak likẖi▫ā nāl. ||1||

O Nanak, it is written that you shall obey the Hukam of His Command, and walk in the Way of His Will. ||1||

Best advice is to sttick to roulette and use method of cumulative betting. If your rich and have the bankroll you will always win !!

Seriously it's a problem not to be laughed at.

We can't give you any real advice on how he can deal with it here, but there are plenty of helplines and websites to help run by professionals.

Gambling is playing with your money. If it's hard earned then that makes the playing worse.

If it's his parents money that he's using then that itself is morally wrong.

He needs to realise he WILL lose and come out worse. No gambler ever comes out better, even if they think they can beat the system.

The bani tells us that money earned lawfully and rightly should be shared among us. To be playing with it, so as to make a fast buck is not a correct and moral way of earning.

He needs to get out of this problem until it's too late. Most gamblers only realise they had a problem when it's too late and not much can be done at that stage.

It takes about 2 weeks to break a habbit see if he can stop doing it for a month, it will be instinctive one way is by actually loosing your cash and seeing the homeless who gambled everything away, also calculating the actual chance of winning in many instances and chances are you are going to loose more than you win that's how the industry keeps going it's profit based.

If it's the rewarding part of it that makes it worth while start doing things which are more rewarding like painting, art, building, construction, plumbing something where you can look back and be pleased with the work you did or start by getting a job realising how hard it is to even earn a penny let alot wasting it away with silly gambling. If he is really getting you into it than for your own sake you need a new friend and start spending more time with them or focus on your studies, career or work in driving yourself forward there, gambling ain't worth it- lives are lost, families are lost. It's too much hassle with no reward, more to lose then win.
