That's why I think that gambling can divert the focus of those who play it, with those who gamble for entertainment purposes only I think the initial motive for gambling is for entertainment can turn into a pursuit of victory and I think this is real, there are those who experience it, I myself admit that I have been like this.
I was once in a boring situation with work that was finished, and I didn't want to play the game that I liked and I gambled with the aim of filling my free time, but after the disappointing results it made me pursue victory.
To be classified into these two angles I myself do not feel rich or poor, I just feel that everything is sufficient. But the things I experienced above I am sure everyone has experienced whether they are rich or poor.
Everything can change during your gambling activity so you must be careful with that and still limiting yourself from spending more money. You can not always win in gambling so that could make you become vulnerable to keep playing gambling. If you can hold yourself from the wanting of playing gambling, you will not have any problem and can enjoy gambling as a fun activity.
But when you think that gambling can solve your financial problem, you will not be able to hold yourself instead will keep playing gambling.
In general, the only cause that makes a gambler susceptible to addiction is because from the start they make gambling a place to pursue victory, the problem is that from the start they never do any research when they get to know gambling, meaning they don't see gambling from various sides, especially from the negative side and the magnitude of the impact that can be caused by the activity and all that happens because of course they are too focused on winning until they finally ignore the risk side which is actually much more likely to happen because after all gambling is a business for casinos where the business aims to seek profit from gamblers who lose.
This means that it is very unlikely for anyone to achieve many wins, caution is always recommended but the most important key is to understand and be aware of the magnitude of the dangers that can be caused.
When they pursue the winning, they can become vulnerable and will not thinks deep about the risk that they can get from gambling. They just want winning from the games so they will do many things including deposits more money because they think that can helps them to win and even they are trying to increase their bet. When someone desperate with their losses, they will still trying to win the games and maybe they will try to playing gambling every day with more money.
We can not understand what they think because they can do anything. So that is why they become more vulnerable in gambling and could become addicted to gambling anytime.
I think there are indeed many people who are addicted to gambling caused by a lack of good self-control or their mindset is indeed wrong in responding to gambling, the solution to this problem is that they must be able to realize that gambling is not to be done excessively because when gambling is done excessively it will make them trapped in a cycle that makes them experience losses only and can even last in the long term.
Don't look at other people, maybe we should look at ourselves first like what gambling we do, whether we ourselves are prone to addiction or not. And it's true what you said we must be careful in doing something including gambling knowing that this has definite risks and dangerous impacts when we respond to it wrongly.
So that means when we want to playing gambling, we must prepare our self control and have a good mindset that gambling is just for fun. They should remember that they need to limits themselves and not playing gambling excessively because that can makes them deeper in gambling without knowing when they must stop gambling. Many people already gets the bad experience in gambling so we must really be careful and take care of ourselves. We should not become vulnerable when playing gambling especially when we see many tempting promotions that can makes us difficult to stop gambling.
I'm with you on this, it's not about whether I am rich or I am poor, they are all humans, the only difference between the two financial classes is that their pricking thresholds vary. It may be $20 for poor people and $250k for the rich, but it doesn't matter, so long as they cross that threshold, they will surely be pained by the lost money.
There is no need to waste money, everybody is vulnerable if care is not taken, which is more reason why we should embrace responsible gambling to avoid getting close to our limits, let alone breaching them.
As long as they don't cross the line and sticks to their rules in limits themselves in gambling, they will be okay and enjoy their gambling activities. They even will not becomes vulnerable in gambling because they know how to take care of themselves in gambling.
They know that playing gambling too long can makes them vulnerable and also lose control so they are strictly limiting themselves in gambling. They don't want to lose much or become addicted to gambling so they will always stop gambling when they feels it is enough to playing gambling.
