Fun and entertainment are the only reasons to continue gambling for me. With those two reasons, I do not need to worry of being addicted as I have my own way to get fun on gambling without worrying about losing money. That's all about self-control and self-limitation, once you can manage yourself then it is always fine to keep on gambling.
That can be a valid reason for some gambler, to have fun and to seek for some entertainment, but sometimes that entertainment becomes a hobby that triggers you to become addict. self control is a must, and if you lose already know how to stop but most of the gambler keeps on chasing their loses until they lose more money which is not good.
Some people are also getting profit. Not everybody lose their money in gambling. Some get some lose although most of the people lose. Apart from that, people are addicted to gambling. They can't quit gambling.
They get profit but the next day you play you will lose the money you’ve won. They can’t quit gambling maybe because they are too dependent with it, but actually we can if we just push ourself to do that.
