I agree with that, indeed the chances of losing are greater than the chances of winning. So what is certain is that as often as gambling is done, losing money will happen more often than making money. Gambling only once may not be a serious problem, but when gambling is done more than once that's where the problem begins, especially gambling with the aim of recovering losses because the previous gambling ended in defeat.
That is what people still don't understand there is no way you could have more numbers of winning than losing but they just choose to ignore the losses and give themselves more hope that are going to win, and if it is about gambling there is not certain, you will only get to smile once in a while from gambling, and if it about the aim of recovering the money you have lost then the person should get ready to lose more money, how is that possible getting back what you have lost its just as if you want to pack water that is already on the floor its impossible and if you lose money its your choice to adjust or not.
When gambling is out of control, it's best to stop gambling, because if it continues, it can make us lose self-control which allows us to do anything, even using money that shouldn't be used for gambling can happen as you said by using the savings you have. This must be avoided as best as possible. Remembering that gambling is not just about winning and losing, but the role of our self-control also determines everything including our own thoughts.
Avoid gambling when gambling is out of control because this is where the problem begins and with the many cases that occur, I think it is caused by such incidents.
They won't want to stop or even listen to you we keep having the same problem with those who are addicted because they have refused to listen to those giving them advice if gambling is not in your favor you should just quit but they won't even listen they will continue to gamble until they get tired of the whole thing, very simple have self-control you must not gamble every day that energy of gambling every day should be channel into doing another thing, the moment you can control your self everything is then settled because you won't push your self to gambling, it shows how important gambling is.
