It is difficult to say that someone gambles just for fun, because in reality no one is happy when they lose in gambling, especially in large amounts.

A few days ago I saw a news story on TV here in my country that talked about a person from my country who took $1600 and used it all on gambling, thinking that he would win a lot of money and get very rich quickly. But he was unlucky enough to lose all his money and now he is asking for help because he doesn't know how he will live anymore because that was the only money he had. Unfortunately, even with the casinos in my country telling people to gamble responsibly and with amounts that they can afford to lose, people still don't listen.

I do know some people who can't control themselves in gambling and it is being an addiction for now.
Specially in our time now where gambling can be a few click away. you can do it on your home or while in transport to somewhere.
This is how big the problem of the world now where everyone is into internet and fast phase of life.
Children! they are the most vulnerable of them all, someone i know stole money from their parents just to supporet their addiction.
A father who lost all of his saving for his family. Those who are less fortunate are the victims of this online scheme. they thought that this is the easiest and fastest pathway to earn.
The social cube is affected in many ways by gambling and it ranges from individuals, families, social groups, and the society in general. Anyone has an easy access towards the internet due to its availability in various technological devices and therefore people with little self-restraint can easily fall into it. Many of them end up acting in an unlawful way experiencing pathological behaviour like stealing, spending family’ money, being involved in debt and so on. Even though for some people gamble as a way to get instant money, which is very far from the truth. This is particularly so especially when it is done by children who are still in their tender age and are easily influenced. There is a need to sensitise more people on this risk so as to avoid falling into this very hard-to-break habit.

Teenagers pressure eachother too often that when one of them begin to experience success in life too early, others begin to get envious and what to do something to get money so they will not be left behind.
Sometimes, unfortunately adults are still vulnerable to this. Obviously they have better grasp at peer pressure but adults are also envious of their peers. They are not immune to wanting the easy route of money earning.
Quote
Gambling is one of the easiest things that they will decide to do and they rush into gambling without having the experience before and they are not also patient because they want to meet up other teenagers that they are friends with.
I guess the difference between adults and teenagres is what they will do to the money they earn from gambling. Teenagers are still very much irresponsible and still have no concept of financial responsibility.

Basically it's not about how mature you are but about how smart you are in thinking, the reason is because here we are talking about gambling where money is the main object in winning and of course we all always like money and that's what often obscures a person's view and mindset, in the sense that because the object of victory is money then in most cases they often focus more on the money which indirectly makes them ignore the rational mindset in themselves and ultimately misunderstand what and how gambling really is such as assuming that gambling is the right place to solve financial problems.

So maybe I can conclude that the most vulnerable to addiction are those gamblers who from the start have not been able to use common sense and their rational perspective correctly regardless of their age.
One's thinking when it comes to gambling does not make any difference because it is either you win or you lose money. Gambling is more complicated than we think which is why we keep seeing casinos making consistent profits and having an increase in their portfolio. Literally thinking about making money from gambling is what many gamblers do think but the reality is actually different.

You could be gambling everyday and you are not making close to the amount you are using to bet. Most gamblers need to keep account of their gambling activities so they can know when they are making money from betting and when they are actually losing bets. When you study the way you bet and how frequently you are making losses and profits, you will actually know whether you are the one feeding the casino you are using or the casino is feeding you.

There's nothing like not falling into deep gambling addiction; the best thing is to never allow addiction because gamblers who have chronic gambling addiction today started from little addiction.
According to the report about individuals who are gambling addicts. I believe the people who are the most vulnerable to becoming gambling addicts are teenagers, and people with depression, or mental disorders. The less privileged who are gambling addicts are still lower than teenagers and depressed individuals who are gambling addicts.

Teenagers pressure eachother too often that when one of them begin to experience success in life too early, others begin to get envious and what to do something to get money so they will not be left behind. Gambling is one of the easiest things that they will decide to do and they rush into gambling without having the experience before and they are not also patient because they want to meet up other teenagers that they are friends with. The depressed people will be very vulnerable to addictions because they are already depressed and are looking for something that can help them get their minds off their depression. Gambling frequently always help them but it comes at the cost of being addicted and lossing money and most of them do not recover.

Everyone have their reasons why they are gambling most are gambling because of the money or should profit they think they can make from it , and some are gambling for fun ( especially those that financially stable), but those that are doing it for money they can get from gambling are more common than those doing it for fun , most folks are addicted to gambling because of the way or the mentality they use to approach it , some gain such mentality from things they came across, like those showcasing their winnings via social medias just to get more engagement not knowing they are endangering Young folks lives , because they have given them the mindset of believing gambling is the easiest and fastest way to eradicate poverty, which it's isn't because it can also lead to that same poverty if is not being approached wisely.
Now the trend among young people is gambling and betting, because their idols on the Internet very often advertise this, which in turn arouses interest in their fans. Who of them is more vulnerable will show time, since they are all from different families and with different upbringing, and this is also an important factor. I think in a few years, gambling will be completely something normal and everyday in many countries, there remains only one question: will the state be ready for this and will there be help for those who suffered from gambling and at what level.

To me kids going into gambling is not encouraging at all because they are getting expose to it at early age and some kids can't make good decisions by themselves, I will be hearing kids of now and days talking about how a particular game cut their game ending their chances of winning,

Instead of kids wasting their times on gambling ( because to me gambling are for those who sees it as fun) , they should rather spend their time in learning a skill that will help them in a long run .

On the other hand, we don't actually have to bother looking for various information from the internet because in my opinion, by using common sense and a rational point of view, it can tell us what is right and what is wrong, such as distinguishing between which activities should be used as a place to earn income and which activities are only worthy of being treated as entertainment.

That is also very true, all people should be aware of what things are good or bad, the people who look for work are mostly adults, they are people who are supposed to be responsible and who apart from everything have an obligation and who should know the dangers of risky activities, that which does not produce any kind of stability when risking money, because it is Known that its concept goes in another direction, and according to our capacities we must define what Suits us and what does not.

You're right. Gambling is not all about maturity in age but one's level of smartness and ability to control his emotions. When you're too attached to the emotions that comes with looking for money, especially when it has to do with betting something little you can afford to get something huge in return. Only the smart few can actually overcome the emotional urge to not gamble it. The truth is, while gambling is eligible for every adult out there, unfortunately, it's not everyone that should participate in it and what makes it even more unfortunate is, there's no any system put into place to gauge or regulate it unless one does that themselves, making it extremely difficult for many to do so. Gambling deals with an individual's mentality and the failure in it can be very damaging as much as the reward in it can be very mouthwatering, making it even more dangerous for those with little control of their emotions.

It is difficult to say that someone gambles just for fun, because in reality no one is happy when they lose in gambling, especially in large amounts.

As for those who really gamble in the hope of getting profit from the amount of money they bet. They are people who usually have financial pressure in themselves, they do not know how to get money quickly. Urgent needs have forced them to be tested into the world of gambling, but in the end instead of getting profit, what happens is that their financial condition is increasingly depressed and concerning.

And in response to this, it seems true with what you said, that we must be able to think more rationally about gambling. Because indeed the action depends on what we think, and if we think wrong about gambling, then so is when we act.

That's right, because making ourselves aware is important for us to still have a healthy mindset, not merely to pursue or get money in gambling. Because after all, in gambling, of course, there are still efforts for gamblers to enjoy betting with a sense of comfort. Because with this comfort, of course, it will make the bet is fine, unlike gamblers who always target to get money which will make themselves more frustrated because of the difficulty of achieving the expected winning target in gambling. Thus, then at least there has been an overview of gamblers who are more vulnerable and not.
Being that speaking when it comes to vulnerability then which we do know that those who are even matured enough could really be that easily be hooked up with gambling, how much into those people who are really that still young or simply with those kids? When it comes to vulnerability then it will be understandable that they are really that prone because they arent that matured enough and since we are really that interested on dealing up with things that involves money then we are that most interested and since they are still young then most likely they would be getting that kind of involvement.

As a parent then you should be that mindful or would be that attentive when it comes to the things on which our children would really be that dealing into on which considering on how fast the informations that been passed through and on the marketing on which we know that this is really that very common specially on social media and thats why it is really that will really be that prone into these kids and that what makes this business to be profitable on which this isnt that limited to those young people but also those old ones to be first timers.

It all depends on each person's perspective and point of view on gambling from the beginning he was involved, there are many factors that trigger interest at the beginning, starting from being interested because gambling is fun to do in your spare time or interested because there is a chance to win, so whatever developments will occur to a gambler that leads to their approach to gambling depends on how their perspective is from the beginning.

Yup, it's on you when you step your foot into gambling,  how you percept the possibilities and how you treat your participation, the development depends from how you control your emotions, there are some who start as entertainment then ends up getting to deep and become addicted, whatever the age and the level of understanding once you exceed from your set target then you are already prone getting addicted.

Yes, I think that's the point, what I mean is that everything a gambler will do will definitely depend on how they see the activity from the start, simply put, if from the start they misunderstand in the sense of seeing gambling as a place to earn income, then all their actions will tend to always lead to excessive aspects, and this is also one of the reasons why it is always difficult to give them advice because after all they will only listen to themselves, in fact it will be very difficult to convince them that excessive gambling will actually lead them to many dangers, they will never come to that thought because their thoughts are controlled by an obsession with winning.

But on the other hand, what you said is also true in the sense that even though from the start someone comes with the right understanding, it does not mean they will continue to be like that, it is very possible for them to eventually experience changes, especially in terms of their way of thinking and perspective considering that gambling is full of various things that look tempting, and in my opinion to minimize it is you must always be able to maintain awareness in yourself every time you play.

This is another point that is actually given less attention, the fact that some of the iconic figures most of these youth look at are almost encouraging this literally often is enough reason for these youths to want to get involved because the narrative is its a probably good way to make money since it's endorsed by their idols meanwhile they are supposed to understand that these persons are only paid to make those adverts and wouldn't be accountable thereafter.

Many people who gamble, whether online or offline, are those who have the mindset that gambling is one way to make a quick profit, and some even think that they can change their fate in gambling by being able to make a big profit in a short time, this is certainly wrong because this mindset is those who only think about money or the profit side in gambling while the loss side is something that has a greater chance of happening than winning.
No matter how old they are, if they have the wrong mindset about gambling, it means that they have a great chance of becoming a gambling addict. Unlike those who have a good mindset by not considering gambling as more than just a means of entertainment, which allows them not to experience bad things. So the people who are most susceptible to addiction are those who have the wrong mindset about gambling.

I don't agree with it either.

I think it's just us being human which is why the number of gambling addicts has grown. We always want more, we are greedy, and let's not deny that. But there are those who can control this greed that's why they can also prevent more losses and even take home a win. Then, there are those who keep their innocence when it comes to gambling which is why they have no trouble at all.
The growth of online casinos and the cheap way to gamble are also big factors today. If people have a hard time gambling because of less access then I don't think there will be many people who will do it.

Indeed right, if the access is not that easy then the growth will not going to rise high, there are some who can manage everything and be safe with their participation, while there are who got hook and become addicted, there are different perspectives and overview but the main factor is the person's capabilities and not anything else, if you have that self-will which most of the time the reason to control whatever emotion are trying to dominate you, then you can safely stop when it's needed for you to quit.

More on how the person can handle the pressure and how he can dictate what he needs to follow whatever limitation he set up for himself.
Yeah, that's how we can manage our habits, it needs a strong dominance over what our body tells us.

Those who already quit something in their life can easily do this again or control their gambling habits. Alcoholics, smokers, and drugs. In my case, it was smoking. It was really difficult to quit that habit and it took me 15 years before I totally got it out of my system.
Now when it comes to gambling, I can live without playing slots for like a week or more and just play sports betting with just little bets, and only in one sport which is the NBA. It's not as expensive as how it goes with slots because it ain't unlimited play. 2 or 3 games in sports and you are done for the day. Cheesy Plus, the chances of winning are better than relying on an algorithm that you cannot win against.

Yeah, when they see something from the people they are idolizing or when they are following someone over the internet, that person can attract the attention especially those young adults who are prone to hook on it and follow those influencers.
