Addiction can be control by having understanding before getting addicted because when gambling is well understood it will be difficult for one to become addicted but when their is no understanding one get addicted very easily. Their is nothing good about being addicted to gambling because addiction can make one to lose many things not just only money.

I'm more interested in asking about someone you know who managed to become rich through gambling, can you provide at least a little evidence that he really made his fortune through gambling? was he a casual gambler who came to gamble without having any close ties to the casino he was gambling at? and I will also ask about what type of gambling he plays? And if for example he is nothing more than an ordinary gambler like other gamblers in general then I will never believe in the idea that gambling can make someone rich, because in fact what happens is just the opposite where most gamblers actually lose more money when they gamble with the wrong way which tends to lead to various excessive actions as is often done by gambling addicts and also the bad effects they experience, meaning that I am sure that someone who has managed to become rich through gambling as you say seems like they are one of the casino owners which is currently operating, because overall, as people often say, the real profit is only for the house.

It's not the same thing at all to not being able to control his urge of gambling, even when you lose and willing to sacrifice your most valuable assets dude. It has nothing to do actually. You can being addicted to alcohol or cigarettes and not being ready to spend all your money into this. People betting large amounts they can't afford to lose, are more risk addict actually. It's not the same thing.

Firstly you should consider what the word addiction mean in itself then relate it with gambling, secondly lol around a d see the behavioral patterns and activities of those who are addicts generally even if it's not to gambling, then adding all of this up I'm sure you will gradually get a puzzle solved in which you will find an absolute answer to your question, I'm asking you to do all this because if a yes or no answer is given you hear, probably it may sound biased and you may still have your resentments about it but if you get to have a first ha d experience of what it is, I'm very sure you are definitely going to get an answer from a first ha d view which will influence your decision on this and probably help you advice people better if the need arise that you do.The best way to control or manage gambling addiction or even addiction generally has always been seeking for help especially professional help, and this has always been the ultimate idea shared most times on this form when issues concerning this arises. Any other form of help is basically secondary and may take longer to get the addicted free from the addiction.
So, is it wrong to be too addicted to gambling?
Shouldn't be a question.how can it be control or how can one manage gambling?
You have to control it through your mind. If your mind and emotion is weak, there is no way that you can control yourself and you'll definitely going to be prone from addiction.What you must do is to keep remembering that you shouldn't gamble a lot so that you won't be overwhelmed and your emotion won't be attached to gambling.

Well, not just in gambling, any form of addiction is not good because every aspect of our lives will become affected. It is wrong to let yourself become addicted since gamblers who don't have control tend to do anything just to sustain their addiction. Those who end up as an addicted gamblers are probably having a hard time changing themselves because they already develop such habit, and can't be overcome just by yourself and seeking professional help is already needed. Anyway, if you don't want to become addicted, have discipline, don't be greedy and desire to win a huge amount.

What did you mean by a gambler using his only son to gamble? I am just imagining how it happened. Seriously, I will like you to explain better because I don’t understand what you mean completely. Did he sell his son, or did he drop his son? If he loses, then he won’t be going home with his son, and if he wins, he will be going home with his son. Seriously, I am just confused because this is my first time hearing something like this. How will a gambler gamble with his son? he can do anything when it comes to gambling. I also know people who are wealthy today through gambling. So, is it wrong to be too addicted to gambling? how can it be control or how can one manage gambling?
I know gamblers do crazy things because they want to gamble, but I don’t know how the particular gambler you are talking about used his son. It’s completely wrong to be addicted to gambling. Just because you see a few people getting rich through gambling doesn’t mean you should also get yourself addicted to gambling. And the people you said got rich through gambling might not be addicted to gambling. You said a father gambled with his son, does that make any sense? Then you should know that gambling addiction is not good.
Is it wrong to shoot people if you think they are being stupid on the internet for engagement farms? Unfortunately the answer for that remains no.
Anybody with a common sense and a half knows getting addicted to gambling is not the best thing to happen to yourself especially when you’re just a small-time clown living paycheck to paycheck. You lose that money in one go and you and your family’s starving to death for that week. So to make sure you survive you loan out of your friends or family members, promising to pay them ASAP. But that never comes, you can't pay shit because you’re neck-deep in gambling addiction and you’d rather use up every single cent gambling and enjoying than even consider using it for something else.
Now tell me if gambling addiction’s still a gray area for you or if you need a little knocking some sense into, there’s no way in hell you’re doing this cause you genuinely don’t know if gambling addiction is a good or bad thing. Come on dude.
OP just said a gambler used his son to gamble, if the story being said is real then their should be something mentally faulty affecting that person because obviously it is something a normal person would not do, he needs to go see a therapist and same go for psychiatric check up. Addiction is a bad phenomenon that everyone should be scared off, not just gambling alone, in various functions that can be harmful when excessively involved. Gambling addiction doesn't award any benefits rather it causes more harm and painful existence having realized how pathetic one has been all this while and striking back to regain financial stand is a lot of process that would have been avoided by not have being addicted.

Personally, I believe gambling should be seen as a game, not a habit or an easy access to wealth, " using son as a bet" is the height of it, People should learn about gambling before they start, the same way we learnt about careers, we should learn the act of gambling.
How can addiction be "right"? It's not a good thing, it leads to unfortunate and miserable situations. People being non functional and failing to complete even their own goals is a bad thing for sure.
I'd go as far as to say that it should also be part of our collective responsibility to support institutions that are doing their best to help addicted persons be able to step out of addiction. For sure it is something good to be able to step out of situations that hold you back but we sometimes do very little to give opportunities to people that most need it. Many developed countries to these days lack institutions that can really do outreach and help addicted persons. In that sense part of the "wrong" is with the entire society and not just those addicted themselves.

Who will even pray to have a gambling addiction or maybe you haven't really see one person that is very addictive of gambling. Gambling is addicted when you see a person and that person can't do a day without gambling, he loves to talk about gambling and see nothing wrong in gambling all the time, he would gamble today and do it the next day and even though he lost, he will go back and repeat it. Just see gambling addiction as something you can't do without.
It might comes in two ways, if you are the type that is lucky and win more than you lose, it's fine but if you lose frequently, you will likely run into a debt and if you have money, you will likely have nothing left after a while. Too much gambling is not just good to do, you will not enjoy it, it's on when it's moderate and time to time you will enjoy it unless you are trying to win some millions and we all know where that use to end, always into regret.
Gambling addiction cannot be justified in any form because it makes all the elements of your life disappear one by one, how can that happen? because gambling will take away your happy life when you have an addiction to gambling.
A fatal mistake if we have an addiction to gambling, maybe if you talk about the impact of someone already said it, there is no good story from a gambling addict in his life history, everything I read they feel sad and regret their actions for the addiction they have in gambling, false hopes, great desires and trying their luck by playing instead of working is the best way for you to feel a life that is so pait.
Remember friends God does not play dice.

When did an addiction became right? specially when that addiction is ruining the persons life.
Being addicted to gambling would not only affect the persons life but he/she would also dragged down his/her family along it.
The gambling addict would not only lose money, property or their possession, but also their family.

I mean, do you really need to ask? The people that you know that obtained such fortune through gambling are either extremely lucky or skilled, and if they have retained that wealth for a long amount of time then we can safely say they are not addicted, since an addicted gambler may win hundreds of millions but give it enough time and they will lose it all, so make no mistake, regardless of the circumstances, getting addicted to anything is never a healthy option. 
Normally as a young man that have future getting addicted to gambling is very very wrong because once you are addicted into gambling you see that it we be very hard for you to achieve something good to your self because any money that you get you would like to go and play gambling because all thinking would be like once you use the money and go to play gambling that your going to won more money without noing that you are drawing use self back world.
I'm surprised Op asked this question, but it's clear that addiction is not good in any aspect. Even though people make money through gambling it's hard to achieve that via addiction. Most players who are addicted always face multiple challenges which prevents them from winning. Loss of money is highly invoke for such gamblers and they are mainly in pains. Imagine what the man in Op's story did to his son. He actually wouldn't get good responsibility across his head anymore. All he could think of is how to gather money through his gambling habit. I don't think getting addicted is by any means good. Nothing nice emerges via addictive gambling. The question on its own is quite weird to see.
Addiction is bad and that means you are doing things too much and that could affect your life. In gambling, too much exposure can lead you to addiction and that could ruin your life so technically its wrong but there are certain point where we experience a downturn in our lives and make mistakes, the real big challenge is how you will push yourself to bounce back and make things right.
Actually, gambling addiction is risk or impact of excessive gambling activities, they carry out every desire for gambling without limiting their time and also having control over their own desires.Everyone is at risk of experiencing gambling addiction and this is without exception, but there are some people who can minimize gambling addiction, they are people who can have the right approach and really have the goal of gambling for fun so they can have responsible attitude.
Basically, healing yourself from gambling addiction will be much more difficult than trying to minimize addiction, but unfortunately most gamblers are not aware of all this and they can realize it when everything has happened.
There are many efforts that can be made to treat the problem of addiction, but no one can really accurately guarantee recovery, in the end they will still return to gambling again, although with different intensity.

Getting addicted to gambling is wrong because gambling is one activity that should bring us fun and not gets addicted. If someone treat gambling besides of fun, he will gets addicted to gambling and that will not easy to solve the problem. When someone gets addicted to gambling, his minds can't decides what he should do instead just playing gambling every day. He will not thinks to do other things because his minds only wants to playing gambling and spends some time in casino.
But we can't deny that some people can gets rich from gambling because they can gets their luck comes when they playing gambling. That's attract people to playing gambling longer because they thinks that they can lucky someday and wins much money. That's wrong if they thinks like that because they can't gets luck like other people easily.

You need to know if not anything you see in front of you are real, you see people are getting rich through gambling, but you didn't know if they might born from rich parents, they might take a loan to pay luxury lifestyle, they might have a business that make a lot money etc.
I'm sure that if someone get rich through gambling, they're either casino agents or the owner, while lucky gamblers that win a lot money mostly back become poor.
