They like making money but of course everyone doesn't like losing money, and after all gambling is not only an activity that can give you money for free but can also lose you any amount of money in a short time, and this is why we You really need to have a realistic and neutral point of view, because by having a neutral understanding, I think it is less likely for them to be manipulated by their own expectations. Money is everything, and increasing dopamine levels in the brain is something that happens when someone succeeds in realizing their hopes such as winning, but however that only happens when we are lucky. On the other hand, gambling with friends can be more entertaining, even if they lose maybe it won't hurt too much, but winning in a really exciting situation can be more exhilarating.
Yes, this industry wont really be that becoming that big if there would really be no money involved which same as you said on which this had become that big over the ages because people would really be giving out that kind of importance or having that kind of interest on dealing up with something on which they do know that they could really be that potentially be able to make profits if ever they would really be that lucky.
Speaking about being bad to society then we are really just that focusing too much into those cons that it could possibly give on whereas the real one whose really that wrong on this aspect is into that someone who had been that deciding to make out some bad decisions towards their gambling activity.

And the biggest mistake of gamblers, especially those who are addicted or have excessive interest, is that they don't pay attention to other facts in gambling, where the possibility of risk will always coexist with the chance of winning, meaning that apart from winning, you can also lose.
I would say that the various impulsive decisions taken by gamblers are caused because they are too focused on the chance of winning but don't consider the risk of losing which could make them lose money, and the point is yes as you said which is quite simple to say that all these bad impacts would not occur if basically they were able to control their gambling activities according to their abilities and instead of gambling controlling themselves.
