A guy walking around a poker room asking people people he barely knows to lend him money against a post dated check is not a responsible gambler.
Whether or not he has a gambling problem is going to depend a lot on your definition of a gambling problem ....
but it is absurd for you to suggest he is being responsible.
Now the lawyer in me comes out on the issue of lending money.
Lots of problems arise even when the borrower "is a good guy". He may really have the intent and the capacity to pay when he says .... until something else happens.
He budgets $200 to pay you back when he gets his paycheck ..... but the next day his car gets towed for illegal parking and the $200 he intended to pay you back with ends up having to go to get his car back. Who do you think gets the $200 you or the impound lot?
If the guy is already at the point of needing to write a post dated check borrow money to gamble with .... then he is probably at the edge of his means .... meaning even if he can afford to pay you back its just barely ....
