Some people are so stubborn that they don't listen to advice and warning, it's better to leave them and let them make the mistakes, they will end up learning and quitting gambling in future, I know two separate brothers that mostly invest in gambling, I don't know how they come up with investing in gambling, how does investment related to gambling? Lack of understanding I guess, these brothers spent years on gambling thinking they will make life changing money, everyone around them warned them and they don't listen, but they learn, now they are struggling, looking for paying jobs to maintain themselves.
You can't be a reckless fellow and escape some stupid mistakes, life doesn't work this way, you need to proceed with caution in everything you plan to do, always prepare for the good and the bad side, if you believe in the wrong things you will get wrong results, gambling isn't something anyone should believe in, you place bet with the hope of getting lucky and the chances are very slim, so the only way not to get affected is to throw small amount of money at this.
If you win it's good, and do not forget to withdraw that amount out, you are gambling to win the house, it's not going to come easily as you except, therapy sucks at this point because not everyone comes from a country with good therapist, I haven't seen one since I was born, so it depends on the country you are living in, and moreover, how will an addict spend money to see a therapist?
You know, when you say that people are stubborn, you're completely correct. Sometimes being stubborn causes us to lose sight of life's reality. Gambling, on the other hand, is a completely different game. betting, betting, betting... It isn't investment. It isn't! Understanding the market, making wise judgments, and having a plan are all important components of investing. Gambling? It has to do with pure luck. And luck is a fickle mistress, my buddy
I've seen excellent people fall prey to the draw of gambling, believing they'll strike it rich. But I'll tell you, the home always comes out on top. Always! It was intended that way. You bet a little, win a little, and then speculate, "Hey, maybe I can win more." But the chances? They're stacked against you. Stacked
Therapy? Although everyone needs it, not everyone has access to it. Not all of them! You're also correct that not all nations have competent therapists. But how can someone ever consider therapy if they are heavily addicted to gambling? They will not! They require assistance, direction, and a dose of realism. One must be extremely cautious since the world is dangerous. Always act with caution, never forget that
