Losing £95 million is a terrible thing, but i don't understand why he played while under the influence of alcohol. The mistake is his, that's something you can see, because he was a mature man when he lost that money.

Losing that amount in a casino and while under the influence of alcohol is a remarkable feat. So alcohol was a bad advisor, but if he had won that amount, alcohol would have been a good advisor.
I don't think there will be a next time. He might not recover from such a big loss. Unless he has 10 times that amount in his account, then he'll probably repeat this feat more than once.
