I am pretty sure this is not a continuous event. I am sure they have a reasonable expectation of making money before they make an advance and make money overall. I also think that advances have gotten a lot lower. But it is still an expense.

A similar situation exists in the credit card world. Pretty easy to get a store credit card, even with bad credit rating, and spend a few hundred dollars before you even get the actual plastic. Lot of people don't pay them off or even pay them at all. And for small sums the credit card company doesn't bother to chase them down. Enough people must pay to make it fiscally viable I think.
