Now, the question is can it be profitable Of course, because it's not impossible but only limited for the choose ones.
to suggest everybody to not treat gambling as a way to make profit. indeed maybe for some people who have addicted already making gamble for fun purpose are so hard , they forgot how to have fun in gambling.
When you accepted your destiny already that you are not good in making money, it would be easy to enjoy in gambling.
It is in our own decision if we want to control our losses it is yup for us to decide if you want to really stop it for now or keep on playing, but if a gambler are already caught in the gambling addiction problem it is still up to him if he really want to change his addiction cause rehabilitation need to be voluntarily because if it is not then you are wasting time cause an addicted person is still enjoying the fun part in gambling.
I think the addicted person will not enjoy the game in gambling. Those people main intention in gambling is to make money. Those who loves money i believe that they will not look for the fun part. They only concentrate on winning money. And especially those who are looking for easy money they will addict this gambling very quickly. This kind of people if they play long term gambling they may lose all money.
