People tend to use the word addict as if we were talking about a flu, it comes and goes, and it is not like that, if you are addicted you should not gamble, it is a problem-disorder, then gambling is not the problem, it is the individual.
On the other hand, patience is only one item of several necessary to have a happy gambler life.
The problem is, in gambling it is very complex. not only about addiction, not also a matter of patience or not. it all boils down to each individual, where sometimes there are times when emotions will approach us depending on the conditions and situations when involved in a gambling session. there are times, where we are in trouble either because of deposits or withdrawals with various factors that cause it. it all comes back to us as individuals, where there is always a risk involved. where dopamine will play an important role, where our patience will be tested and at the same time our psychology is disrupted. which in essence, what the OP said in this thread is a commonplace part whether in gambling or other matters.
But overall I agree with what you said, especially regarding the theme of our discussion about patience. Patience is really needed in gambling for gamblers, where when we are experiencing defeat, let alone streaks. there too, patience will be needed to temper our emotions so we don't do things that are out of control. Patience is also useful for me personally when I'm trying to analyze a soccer team that will compete. how should I do, gather all the latest information and then consider it. of course, it requires patience when doing research. one more thing, addiction is an individual problem and as you said. the point is the problem, not in the gambling. therefore, anything that is done in excess is not good.
