A people once a gambling addict then they will getting crazy because what ever we do to stop them gambling they will make a way to play or to gamble again. We have the same situation a friend of mine are too addict in gambling and We try to fix him but sad to say we will make a way to gamble again. And Accident happened to his life and one of his family died then that's the time he realize. That he is on a stage of being addict. So we can not change addict people all by themselves if they want to change then they can.
You are right that a person who has become a gambling addict can only be helped if they acknowledge that they are actually in a problem and they want to get out of it, but most of the addicts don't realize it or don't accept that their situation is getting worst and worst and they need a helping hand to get out of that situation.When they realize it, it's already pretty late and they've already lost a lot of things or in some cases, everything. That is why one needs to always try and control their emotions when they are gambling and don't let themselves get too deep.
Gambling is supposed to be for some certain people who can control themselves without causing harm to themselves. We need to try and help people who are having problems of gambling addiction or some other problems that might be as a result of gambling unnecessarily. We are liable for any result we get fr our various gambling activities.
If many people gamble in a controlled manner, they certainly won't have gambling addiction problems because they can gamble without chasing after wins and know when to stop. You can help these people but if they don't have the intention to cure themselves of gambling addiction, you won't be able to do it. Even if you have to force it, you still won't be able to do it.They are responsible for the results they get but most of them cannot accept the results and continue to gamble using more money. Gambling responsibly will not cause any problems and we can enjoy it too.
The best way to achieve control and responsibility is to set a part a bankroll for every session that you play as I am assuming gambling addiction happens mostly to people who play instant result games like slot machines and alike and stay responsible when this bankroll ends they call it a day and quit.The problem is that this cannot be achieved instantly,I have been addicted myself in 2020 and since then I have started applying this methodology little by little until I made it possible,in the beginning weeks no matter how hard I tried I still could not stop,but then with the passing of time I started sometimes stopping and sometimes not until I was able to stop completely when I wanted.
It's really hard to establish self-control the moment you already fell into addiction.
In the very beginning, it is important to discipline yourself and make healthy boundaries between you and your gambling habits so that you will avoid the dangers that come with having a bad gambling ways just to satisfy yourself. Being responsible is every player's duty whenever they are gambling. It is essential to know your limitations so that you won't have a hard time in stopping yourself from gambling more and quitting it if it gets too overwhelming and uncontrollable for your own benefit. Personally, I know that I will easily get hooked up if I play. Hence, I do my best to limit myself from engaging to prevent unnecessary troubles.
It will still depend on you on how you will put up with your convictions and principles prior to building your gambling habits. It could make you happy and thankful you started gambling or the other way around depending on how you will utilize gambling to your advantage.

Indiscipline in gambling can lead to a loss of control and wipe out your bankroll, regardless of the game you're playing. While we all want bigger wins with our small bankroll, the chances of that happening are slim. If we try to be realistic, we know that we will likely lose, and that's where the problem starts if we can't accept the outcome.The problem is that this cannot be achieved instantly,I have been addicted myself in 2020 and since then I have started applying this methodology little by little until I made it possible,in the beginning weeks no matter how hard I tried I still could not stop,but then with the passing of time I started sometimes stopping and sometimes not until I was able to stop completely when I wanted.
I'm glad to hear that you were able to solve your addiction problem. As for me, I can't say that I've been addicted to gambling, but sometimes I also lose control. However, as we become more mature, we learn how to control our emotions because we understand that it's just part of the game. 
Hmmm interesting, "people actually depend on gambling to make money " this is a statement I don't like seeing but notwithstanding some Hippocrates feel they can actually make steady money from gambling where as the case is different meaning gambling actually makes money from you on a daily basis. I hate to see people taking gambling as a way to escape from your financial problems because has made many folks become debtors but that I believe happens to only folks that see it as a must-do affair #addiction
Just as much as you dislike it, I don't think anyone is fully in agreement that a gambler should see gambling as a means of escaping their financial problems. Gambling can instead contribute to their financial problems, like being in debt, just as you have mentioned. Although some have taken the risk and got favored with a heavy win, some people have also taken a big risk in gambling, which has landed them in big trouble. Last week I read a thread (I think it was on the Nigerian local board) where a mother and her son were sentenced to prison for gambling off a huge amount of money that was not theirs. Also, there have been a lot of stories on the gambling discussion board about people who have landed themselves in more trouble because they gambled with money that was not their own.
I once tried to stop someone who is addicted to gambling but they keep promising that they will stop for good because have seen the damages that gambling has done to their life and the yet I was shocked when I found them doing the same thing again.
Gambling addiction is very terrible and probably unstoppable when someone gets addicted to it, it is a very bad thing to get addicted, maybe I've not seen those who are addicted to drugs and I may never be able to compare the two but gambling addiction is terrifying.
Imagine the guy you narrated, he would continue to lose his money, and this will affect his mental health one way or the other. Why not fight it and gamble responsibly?

That's a good thing you said, it's correct in my understanding as well. We really want to help the addict and we gave him medicine but he doesn't want to attack, it turns out that the solution we give is just ignored.
In short, they also need to help themselves while there are other people who want to help them to overcome the situation of being addicted to gambling.

Actually gambling is not for children is for adults and the gambling is meant for people that have money especially who can bet or who can gamble with their money without any remorse or regret but some people now use their capital for gambling and which meant they lose then regret about it that is why some people now has become homeless because of gambling their all their property in order to gamble and get more and they end up of losing everything so gambling have a stitch and it is for fum is not all earning

A self-will is needed to change the mindset of a person with gambling addiction, without that they will just keep going back and will add more problem not only with their finances but also with their health, I see your point that you are trying to help but if the person is not willing to cooperate and then there's nothing you can change.
Sad to say that there's an incident like that someone needs to die just to realize the problem, but it is a reality in life, especially with those gambling addiction individuals.

There's no point in achieving anything by gambling, because that's where addiction begins. All those addicted to gambling want to be something great in life, but choose the wrong path.
Here are some Negative effects of excessive gambling.
Too much stress
Anxiety and Depression
Debt
Making wrong decisions
Just looking at the negative effects of gambling alone is enough for a regular person not to get involved into gambling that much.Too much stress
Anxiety and Depression
Debt
Making wrong decisions
Problem is, they look gambling as like a way for them to become rich in a quick way. They look gambling as a way for them to make their life better. Worse, there are some addicted gamblers who are doing some bad things, and sometimes brutal things just to have some funds that would be use to gamble.
I will just share a true story of our neighbor here in our place. He got addicted into gambling. So much that he will sell all of the things that he has. His property, his motorcycle, his phone, everything that he has just to have money to gamble. He would even rob into our neighborhood so that he can have the money. Unfortunately, he is in a state where he's crazy, depressed, and we often see him begging from different people so that he can have money now not to gamble, but to buy foods. Overall, he got addicted to gambling, and now he is having a hard time to the point that his family members are staying away from him already.
And yes, there are people who think that maybe they can make a living out of gambling which is basically not possible. All you can do in gambling, in the long run, is lose everything you have if you are not responsible.
I completely agree with your mate, most gamblers, and when I say most, I mean majority of gamblers take gambling as a means of becoming financially free, I have several of such persons in my area where I live, like an experience I shared some time ago here, one who quit his job after some series of winning in sports betting, he felt that was how the winnings will keep coming, but eventually, the winning stopped and now, he's out here in the street looking for another job, cus right now, he doesn't even have the money to feed well, let alone gamble.
Gambling addiction have destroyed many destinies, lives, and when i say, "destroy", it doesn't mean the person have to die, many today are living dead, that is they are alive, but have no purpose for being alive.
What happens is that there is a lot of people which fail to see a way out of their difficult financial situation other than to trust on their luck, and even if we were to explain to them that such a thing is a bad idea, as luck is not reliable at all, they may still try anyway thinking they have nothing to lose, however what they do not consider is that as difficult as their situation could be things can always get worse, and risking whatever small resources they have left in this way is a bad idea.Gambling addiction have destroyed many destinies, lives, and when i say, "destroy", it doesn't mean the person have to die, many today are living dead, that is they are alive, but have no purpose for being alive.
But indeed things like this cannot be changed but on the other hand as long as the mindset is still the same as that, it will forever be difficult even though we remind them that gambling is just fun but on the other hand they are too hopeful about this which makes them always suggest again and again even though they have suffered huge losses because the ego has poisoned their minds.

But this is really the mindset of the people I've known, but it doesn't mean that they are addicted to it; they are just threating the lottery like this, which is why they are always buying tickets on a daily basis just to try their luck, which we can't blame them for as they want to get out of poverty even though they work hard and still can't get out. Though that is really the point at which the money intended to buy food goes to the lottery, which is not good, so far when it comes to the lottery, I haven't noticed that someone tends to use that money just to buy tickets.

It is fun to gamble especially if your main desire is not win but to entertain yourself. But this can change if you didn't limit yourself on when to stop and let anger (because of losses) control you to commit a decision that you might regret later on. So always be a responsible gambler who have discipline when playing if you don't want gambling affect you negatively because of your behaviour when you gamble.

I greatly agree, people who seek gambling as way to solve their financial problem ended up in a huge mess and big debt. Instead of fixing their financial aspect, these gambler even ruin it making their situation worst than ever.

I think the money was theirs but they pretend to be innocent that they do not gamble the money and others move their fund for them. Well, that is how I understand the case on that thread. This mother and child are punished because they are involved in illegal gambling.
Addiction? A wild beast, right? Some folks, more prone than others, and it sneaks up in countless ways. Me? I've got a grip on my gambling game.
Yeah, I relish the occasional thrill, but it won't hijack my life. I've got other passions, a stable cash flow, and purpose. Gambling's just a zesty side dish, adding flavor to my day and maybe a few extra bucks.
Different strokes for different folks, though. If someone's all-in for a gambling career, power to them! Keep it in check, make a living, and I say, game on!

Hmm, really interesting. Gambling really adds a couple of bucks to your pocket, and there's no way you can see gambling as a way of solving financial challenges, which most gamblers really think is the way forward. Since you have a steady inflow of cash from another source, I really don't think you can rely only on gaming the way others do.
But not to criticize, any full adult that can make decisions for themselves really knows what is best for them and should go for it; gambling is full of fun, and the wins that come along, gives someone happiness. (Haha), I sometimes get too busy to even think of gambling, but since I love gambling on sports, my friends are very good at sending me some booking number, I just need to put the number in the betting platform and stake the amount I want. The funny part is, sometimes I don't even remember checking if I won or if it got buste (just me being lazy).
