But that "day of luck" may never happen until all your capital is gone. It's possible.
Gambling addiction is an expensive bad habit and I think anyone who is near being one should start thinking about stopping it. Even if you are rich, you can end up living in the streets if one person would not be able to control it.
There are ways to feed our boring times and I think focusing on those different hobbies will be the key to avoid gambling the whole day.
Yes, it can also cause mental damage which usually starts with stress when you keep on losing and don't have any idea how you will get back all the money you spent. I've been on that position many times that I could tell I should stop because I am losing more than what I can afford to lose. It's not healthy anymore especially if you set a budget and you are not following your own rules and limit anymore.
With over exceeded budget and the time that you are spending inside the house, that's connects you to something that remove the balance between your self control and your emotions, once you already aiming to keep playing instead of following whatever your set limits, expect to see yourself regretting what will you become after, addiction is something that tough to compete with, it's more on your self-will and that adrenaline inside you who keep pushing you to keep playing for more.
Most of those gambling addicted person no longer have that control inside them that's the reason why they are capable to do something that unexpected from them, most are worse things that ruined both their relationship and most to their finances.
