It is true that I see now that most of the gamblers are from the middle to lower class, it makes sense when I ask what their reasons are that make them survive to always gamble, which is yes as you said above "hoping to win" it is clear, the average of them always bring the same reason like this. This kind of mindset is really very frightening, which is where they see this gambling as a solution to increase their finances through a few wins, honestly I am quite concerned about those who have poor finances but instead enter gambling with unreasonable hopes and mindsets, instead of winning in the end they lose all the money they have, even if they have entered the level of addiction it is very possible that they will let their stomachs starve just to gamble and think that the money they bring can multiply when they win. But the question is, is that right? No, the fact is that gambling is not a place to earn income at all, that's the exact reason why until now there are still many who are down there because of defeat.
Gambling has taken a lot of victims and the average is from the middle to lower class because of the hope factor. So really it's better to change that mindset, this is only limited to entertainment not a place to make a living, I hope you will be careful not to go too far.
To be honest, there is actually no prohibition at all for gambling if indeed they have full responsibility for everything that can happen, especially the number of defeats. If you can now control it, it's a good thing because only yourself can help you, other people won't care about your problems there. Agreed, limiting the budget is a very good idea to minimize your losses and besides that you should also limit the time to gamble, because obviously if you still allocate a lot of time there then it is very likely that you will be hooked again. It's just a matter of you getting your hopes up in the wrong place.
I believe some people think that's how it is, but it implies that everyone has full control over what they do and why they do it. But when only the why in their mind changes and the what stays the same, then the why also never changed. If someone is addicted to something for example and can't ever get rid of it, age really changes nothing. The first question therefore is why someone is doing it. It's not that out of a sudden you do something at the age of 60 that you already did at the age of 20 with an entirely different perspective and approach. For some things that might be true, but it all depends on the why. It is not like someone is sitting at the slot machine and out of a sudden sees things differently with age.
