If they weren't mentally prepared, they would forget their plan and suffer a bigger loss than anyone else. Beginner gamblers must have strong self-discipline. If they don't already have it, they better not approach gambling. Otherwise, they will be tempted and want to experience the gambling game and in the end, they will become addicted to gambling. As long as they can take good care of themselves when playing gambling, there will be no problems for them and they can enjoy playing gambling comfortably and calmly and stop at the right time.
Remember the best and most correct choice is not to approach at all or try to gamble.
At first, novice gamblers could control themselves and manage their finances so they wouldn't become addicts, but they did all that because they were new to gambling and were afraid of losing money.
But believe it or not they will still be crazy gambling addicts.
Never mind self-control or finances, to be able to place bets with smaller amounts is impossible if you are already a crazy gambling addict.
The best way to avoid gambling addiction is as I said in the first sentence, Never approach or try to gamble and if you have already plunged into gambling immediately stop.
It's hard to stop gambling when we are already in it, unless we are broke and have no money at all. But that also can't stop them, because some people I know also do everything they can to satisfy their ambitions, that's the real problem. And also they play with real money for their daily needs and can't afford to lose, it becomes an additional problem.
I think they are old enough to think about this. It really comes back to them, because it comes from within them too.
Any chronic gambling addict will never run short of money to gamble, no matter how broke you think they are,
They might not have money to buy food, drinks or even pay bill, but you wil be amazed that money will always be available to them for gambling,
This is something I've experienced first hand by being a friend to someone who's a chronic gambling addict, this guys reserves money he would use for gambling, but will go hungry from morning to night, and when you ask him why he hasn't eaten, he will tell you he has no money to buy food.
Many a times, he stole money from his wife's purse for the sake of gambling.
If you ever stayed around someone who is an addict gambler, you might end up hating gambling in itself, cus their lifestyle is nothing to write home about, most especially the poor ones.
