I would have tagged the adolescence as people with lesser control, but gambling knows no set or group of people, due to the general effect it has on everyone's emotions who ventures into the game. Additionally, any player could chase losses, as a form of disorder, fewer people in that condition would handle the problem. Once the limitations is broken free, the player be it young or old, face similar reactions. Though the younger ones become deeply attached to it due to the level of their thinking.
I think that it may also be a matter of psychological fortitude, because young people may not yet be ready for such mental stress, in the case of big losses. I only hope that at a younger age people do not have access to big money and they can get this experience with relatively small losses, but if they are from wealthier families, then everything may be more difficult. Or it may not be a matter of losing money, but a constant desire to play, you need to try not to bet for several weeks or months, can you?)
