Well, gambling is a risky game and the addiction is quite very risky for anybody who doesn't comprehend the need of staying responsible while gambling. The effects of gambling addiction is always bad. I've never seen a story of an addict who didn't suffer and also instigate suffering on other people whom he loves. The healing journey is quite a long one because the gambler after regaining his consciousness will regret his actions.

Though he didn't do all that by himself, but it's safe to say that addiction come with trauma for both the gambler and his family. The losses are very much better than losing mere money. Recollecting on the sad memories caused by addiction to a family happens to be a steady occurrence. And most people don't always get over it, as the pains keeps hurting them even when the player is now healed of his problem. This things should be a nice reason why gamblers must be careful about their gambling habit not to fall victim to addiction.

This is the main point that in any case we should understand first about what activities we are actually doing, and this thought is always recommended because it applies to everything we do, and the benefits are none other than because by understanding what activities you are actually involved in then you will know about what should be done and what should be avoided. Not having the right understanding is always a major problem in gambling involvement which can lead to actions that should not be done which have the potential or possibility to lead to adverse effects such as large losses when we gamble without putting limits or when we gamble with various risk-taking decisions that are not commensurate with our abilities.

And as you said, some people forget that gambling is a game of luck and they are gamblers who come without the right understanding, and what is worrying is that poor people think that gambling can be used as a place to earn which of course in the long run this thinking will only trigger many disasters that will further worsen their life situation, and because of these adverse effects, this is the reason why we are always advised to put a lot of caution along with treating gambling in a rational and realistic way.

an action that often occurs and I am sure that all gamblers have most likely done it, by gambling again after experiencing a loss, hoping that the second gambling will result in a win but the result still results in them losing money. and of course if you continue like that with the thought of being able to win by gambling then such actions will continue to be carried out, perhaps even in the long term, and of course it will affect their own finances. they could have fatal financial problems by just following their wrong thinking. Apart from that, having financial problems, such as always losing with frequent gambling, can make them stressed and experience excessive pressure.

When someone is experiencing financial problems, of course this can affect their immediate family, where there is a possibility of conflict between the addict and family members. If they are addicted, of course their relationship with their family will not be very good, there may be arguments that can occur, especially since someone who is addicted to gambling will tend to be more stubborn.

In regards to the above topic, I agree 100% with the op. Indeed gambling is a big minus to your finance it's worse than any other form of loss in our finances because, gambling addiction is like a virus in our financial life, it will keep eating your money until there is no immune part left. That is, you will become broke, I've seen lots of person who gambling addiction has turned the table of their lives and today they not nothing to be compared with their past life. Some even go as far as becoming beggars while some are know convicts today. Sometimes  I wonder, how can this be? How did gamble mange to eat up their minds that they couldn't even think of quitting or reducing their gambling rate? It's kind of weird though how some smart persons mange to fall under the tricks of gamble.

Yes and it also depends on whether or not they have the right understanding of gambling, because if for example they do not have the right understanding of gambling then usually they are typical gamblers who come with the intention and purpose of earning because what they know is that gambling can give them victory, Even though they often lose, they ignore this fact and all of that happens because from the beginning they are too focused on winning opportunities and most likely it is certain that they will really have difficulty stopping because usually they will only stop if they have managed to restore all the losses they have experienced while however restoring the situation is an idea that is truly impossible to realize, and usually they will only be able to stop when they have completely exhausted all the valuables they have and also when they experience a downturn that really traumatizes them.

On the other hand, if the gambler has the right understanding and perspective towards gambling such as understanding that gambling is a win and lose activity and winning only depends on luck then I think it will not be too difficult for them to stop because they understand that if they do various actions that tend to be excessive then it's the same as they lead themselves to many disasters. Another thing is that I agree with you that the overall impact of gambling is huge and not only affects the gambler but can also affect the people around him.

An addicted gambler that goes to that point is on a severe type of addiction. When he can no longer take care of his famly or his welfare is because harmed and affected by it.

That gambler is in total out of control and even him can't stop himself forgetting the important matters and affairs outside gambling.

And that becomes a domino impact, from relationship, to finance, to job, etc.

This scenario really happens and is experienced by gamblers who always try to make gambling a place to earn money, even though basically they often experience bad impacts such as experiencing a significant amount of losses but strangely still in the end they always try to take various actions that tends to be excessive, as you said, this is done because there is great confidence and hope in winning.

Instinct can indeed be used as a gambling method as a way to make decisions, but still instinct can be wrong and can be right, meaning that your instincts lead you to victory, so what you have to understand is that you have to think that it is a situation where you are sufficient. be lucky enough to win, and never put too much faith in your instincts when gambling because of course losing will always be a part that can never be avoided, so just do it as a test, but don't put too much faith in it.
