Gambling addicts know they are addicted to it by themselves, but they do not tell anyone or admit it; this is like no criminal admitting their crime unless found guilty. They can't control their emotions, as well as their greed, because the mind of an addict really wants to play and win money, and if they lose, the problem starts, like they keep chasing their losses. No matter how we tell them to stop, they will still continue, so it is better to ask for support from professionals. To those who are not addicted to gambling like us, we should be thankful and cautious at the same time, like monitoring our playing time and how we react so that we can prevent becoming addicted to it.
Even after being found guilty, do they still admit anything? Like you said, they can't control their emotions and will keep chasing their losses. They will give different reasons to justify the fact that they are not even close to gambling addicts, but does it matter? As long as they are not causing harm to others but only to themselves, then there's nothing wrong; it should go on with them until they themselves realise that they have become so bad and greedy for themselves. Because how can someone start something that will take control over them instead of the opposite? Even when you try talking them out of it, they are not even agreeing that it's wrong. which means there's even no reason to bother yourself if they are not causing problems for you and others.

Curious point, isn't it? Despite irrefutable evidence of guilt, these individuals remain... unrepentant, almost defiant in their delusions. They will, indeed, chase losses, spin tales, and perform mental gymnastics of astonishing complexity, all in a bid to retain some semblance of control
"Does it matter?", you ask... a fascinating question. In the grand scheme, perhaps not. After all, if their actions cause no harm to others, if they're only shadow-boxing with their own demons, then why should society intervene? However, here's a twist: their actions do bear consequences that ripple beyond their immediate spheres
"Until they realize how far they've fallen", you suggest. But remember: recognition of a problem is often the first step towards resolution. Until then, we remain caught in this... dance, if you will, wherein we must "bother ourselves" for their sake, if not for ours
