There's nothing wrong about this thread, but if you hope you can help an addict by creating this thread, you shouldn't hope to high.
Gambling addicts will never gamble responsibly because the negative effects of their addiction make it difficult for them to make good decisions. I never agree with a gambler being forced directly to stop gambling, it is like a smoker being forced to stop smoking directly.
just like how we live a life full of responsibility, gamblers must also be directed to be able to gamble responsibly such as knowing the time limit for gambling - not having debt for gambling when running out of capital - not committing crimes.
even though it is difficult, gambling with responsibility will make a gambler not turn into a gambling addict.
I read a lot of articles in the past that there are gamblers who keep doing bad and illegal things like stealing, scamming other people and many more just for them to have a capital that they can use for their gambling purposes.
It is not bad to gamble, it will only be bad if we will let our mind control us wherein we are not embracing the risk and we are not managing our expectations very well. Gambling is for the people who have strong mental fortitude. Make a psychology test before you put your money in gambling if you want to not become an addict like majority of the gamblers.
