So this is something that we need to accept as it is impossible to change the perception people have of gambling in general, which is why I never tell anyone that I gamble as a hobby as you never know who could eventually hear that information and then it could have some negative consequences in your life.
People have different views and perceptions when it comes to gambling and things usually differ on how gamblers deal with it. For some people, gambling is just a source of entertainment. Some gamble when they need to have fun and enjoy after a stressful day while others gamble when they seek comfort whenever they feel exhausted. There are also people who are willing to spend huge amounts of money just to gamble because of a few things. Some of them have a huge hopes in it while others are being challenge to hit the jackpot prize. Gambling itself is really risky but it can only ruin lives when being abused.
Those who spend too much in gambling and who are willing to risk their earnings in gambling are usually those who are eager to win bigger gains which usually results in gambling addiction. These things usually happen when we lack self-control and self-discipline. Handling our emotions right is necessary for us to make the right decisions in gambling.
