Yes, exactly, and indeed I also think the same as you that whether or not someone is addicted cannot be measured by the age factor at all, as you say young or old it doesn't matter, and I think it's more about the person himself, although maybe older people are more mature in terms of thought but that doesn't always make them think more realistically in seeing gambling, there is a chance of winning and if they are very serious about it then obviously whoever it is and whatever age they are they will definitely pursue a victory that is not promising at all.
Of course, not all retirees always have the right mindset as I said above, and it's only right that no one can know what's really on their mind, it's not uncommon that they can think of something even beyond our expectations. So the point is that whether they are addicted or not cannot be measured by who they are, how old they are, only they know what they will do.
Older people often look childish and want to win from gambling, so they will try to win
But people who have gambled should know that gambling can tempt them to continue playing. And if they continue to chase wins, they will experience many losses they would not have expected. It's because they want to win so badly that they keep playing.
We have to determine whether we will continue playing until we are old or whether there is a target age at which we will stop gambling. And for now, it's better to just do what we want. If we still want to gamble, we continue gambling and see what will happen later.
Yes and one of the childish things is that they might be a little bit selfish, they understand that their minds should be mature and that means being able to differentiate between good and bad sometimes they are still selfish like children, like I said before because they misinterpret the opportunity so they keep gambling because they want to get the winnings that are always expected, they are already stuck in that cycle like any other gambler.
That's one of the goals of casinos, they want gamblers to get stuck in their own mindset of uncertain expectations, and they're already there to keep playing and chasing wins. Basically if they are too serious and ambitious in their pursuit of winning then surely whatever control they have previously set up will be lost and they will forget about it.
Honestly, I can't really be sure whether they will be firm with their decision to quit at some targeted time, because sometimes it's just nonsense, it's very difficult to avoid it. So I think it's more effective if you want to quit in the next few years then you have to start reducing the activity from now on, you can reduce the time to gamble and also the budget. This must be done slowly because there is no way with such addiction they can stop suddenly.
