A third-year student, Maxim Polyakov, succumbed to advertising and lust for easy money, as a result of which he lost the apartment, which he inherited from his grandmother, in an online casino.

Maxim Polyakov - a native of a small Ukrainian town of Kropiwnicki. He was born and grew up in an intelligent family, where from the young years he was inculcated with the love of knowledge. Due to this, Maxim was one of the best students of the Faculty of Law at the prestigious state university. The student brilliantly defended the honor of the educational institution at various olympiads and conferences. Classmates loved and respected Maxim, they could always rely on him. The guy never refused to help anyone, especially if it concerned the educational process. Since Max Polyakov was not the son of wealthy parents, in addition to studying, he had to work in the night shifts at the vegetable garden. True male labor did not cause fear for a physically developed young man, but the money earned by such efforts was not enough to ensure even minimal desires.

On the same basis, Max met with another ambitious student who told him about a good way to earn money. It was about online casinos. First, Maxim Polyakov did not even want to listen to anything about it. But the guy spoke so beautifully and confidently about acquaintances who had thus put together fortunes, that Max still thought about it. Arriving home after the shift, the tired guy did not go to sleep, but decided to check out the story of a new friend. And what was his surprise when he really stumbled upon a dozen people narrating about the cardinal changes in life after the start of the game.

Excited Max Polyakov could not wait for the next shift, in order to find out more specifically everything. It turned out that his new friend decided to go to the vegetable store only in order to get money for the first bet. Prior to the advance was another two weeks, but if the guys combine their capital, they can play today. Maxim thought that he finally found a man who understands him, so he did not doubt for a second. The next day the newly minted colleagues went to a cafe where they were going to start their journey to wealth. When the question became about whose name to open the account, the friend confidently said that he completely trusts Maxim, so do not mind that the money came to his name. Maxim was flattered by these words and all the remaining doubts about the correctness of the act were dispelled. Students started the game with small bets. Slowly, but confidently, the amount of their winnings increased. They were pleased with themselves and enjoyed spending money. Now they have become not only partners, but also friends. All the free time the guys spent together. Hang-outs, movies, girls - all this has become the everyday life of ordinary students. But this only lasted until they won.

The guys grew appetites, and accordingly, and the stakes. The first setbacks were made, but the partners continued to believe in luck. Max Polyakov several times warned his friend and asked to finish with this, but without success. A friend began to blame Max for cowardice, and he was ashamed. So Maxim Polyakov and agreed to take a loan from the casino to continue the game. Luck did not smile at the young people, and the game for them ended. The game is over, and the debts have remained. But Max was confident in a friend and realized that together they would cope with everything, but it turned out differently. Immediately after the defeat, Maxim's partner disappeared. His phone was off, but he did not show up at work. Then at last the guy realized what kind of person he really was "a friend". Max did not have time to recover after such a betrayal, as he suffered even more misfortune. He received a letter from an online casino, which said that if the guy does not return the amount of debt within three days, the collateral will go to the casino. Agreeing with the terms of the loan agreement, the gambling student did not even bother to read that he took money on bail of the apartment, which he inherited from his grandmother.

Trying to prove that he was playing alone was absolutely useless, because the account was opened in his name and the signature on all documents was also his. Life gave the guy just two cruel but important lessons. Always need to listen to what your mind says, and not to succumb to someone's tricks. And nothing happens simply: everything in this life is given with difficulty and has its price.
