"Problem gambling is characterized by many difficulties in limiting money and/or time spent on gambling which leads to adverse consequences for the gambler, others, or for the community."
From my opinion the original is that everybody want to get rich in a day, everyone try to find the shortcut ways to reach their goals in short period of time, gambling is the only solution because we all think like that, so that by keep trying we get addicted of it and than no way left for us to do a good job in real life.
Even A well educated person has become addicted to gambling what else could a normal one, there is no one safe from getting addicted by gambling, but the question is who will be affected by it, nobody knows when or who will be affected by it. and when you do you will find it hard to conquer the addiction you can get from it.
