the worst part is that most of them always say:
" I'm just going to play today, when I win a lot of money I'll stop..."
they lose money and continue to gamble, then they lose money and continue to gamble, and there comes a day when they win a lot of money, but they don't stop playing, they gamble with all the money and lose everything.
well games are a good thing if people know how to control themselves
Do you know what's even worst with that mentality? The thing is that, let's consider two scenarios in such times:
You lose: Obviously you will have frustration and you want to win it back while knowing the hole is now bigger.
You win: You recover your loss and you are ready to leave but you will feel like how easy it was to win money and it isn't the right time to leave because my luck has finally started to shine and I should not be leaving at such a lucky timing.
Both the situations are equally dangerous because the mindset to earn money from gambling is the real problem here.
Simply saying that if you do really mind about making "money or profit" then no matter what what condition or situation you are in neither you are losing or winning you would really be having that classic reasoning
when losing then you do have that recovering losses kind of mindset and when you do win then you would be having that lucky feeling which would make you continue to play or simply tells
that you wont be having any option but do end up on playing unless if you do have the good control of yourself then these things wont really be happening.
Addiction is something can be mold up depending on whats youre intention towards gambling and if you do look on profiting way then you would most likely end up into this path.
