Of course it's true, as we often hear that many people say and suggest to just make gambling as another option which means when you really don't have any other activities that can be done to find entertainment then maybe you can choose gambling, I also make gambling as the last option when there are no other activities that can entertain and that too only when I have some money that I can really afford to lose. So the point is never to make gambling something important in your life, but in my opinion this point of view also depends on how you respond to gambling at the beginning of involvement, if basically you start everything with a misunderstanding then I'm sure that it will be really difficult for you to ignore gambling, so a person's behavior in treating gambling depends on how they understand this activity at the beginning of involvement, if for example they are really obsessed with winning from the start then of course they will continue to prioritize this activity.
Speaking about entertainment or trying to find one then we do know that gambling isnt really the only option on which we can able to spend our selves on seeking out some leisure towards it on which there are other stuffs on which we can be able to deal on with and not really just that limited to this, but if you are someone whose really that interested on getting up some thrill via betting or gambling on casinos then it will really be that up to you since not all people will really be having that same personality when it comes into this manner on where there are those who dont like on losing money and instead on doing gambling they will really be rather involving into those stuffs that brings out entertainment but doesnt really need up to spend up money. So it will really be just that a matter of your self choice on which one.
Gambling has nothing to do with our personality and also on what most people been saying on here is really just that a normal reaction of a human being on which whether we do win up or lose money then there's a specific reaction on which a person would really be able to feel out on which it would really be whether be happy or would be disappointed or anger. It will really be giving out that positive or negative aspect basing up into the condition that you are currently having on which its really a normal reaction to have, but doesnt mean that it will reflect out into our overall personality.
Well of course in general if for example you can really open your eyes wide then you can find various other things that might be much more entertaining than gambling, but unfortunately everyone has their own rights in determining their choices, that's okay and it's also their right as long as it doesn't harm others, but the problem here is that there are always people who make decisions without considering first such as whether or not they are ready to bear all the consequences of the decisions they have taken and that's what makes them losers in the end.
Of course I also quite agree with your opinion that gambling has nothing to do with personality, but it also depends on the context of what is being discussed, for the reaction when winning it is normal and every gambler must have almost the same reaction, and for the problem of losing I think it depends on whether they are responsible or not, so I think it all depends on whether or not you have the right understanding of gambling regardless of your personality.
