I would like to get some personal opinions for a class I am taking and I would like to know what behaviors lead people to develop a gambling problem. Some people will start gambling for fun and others will start gambling thinking they are going to strike it rich. I would like your opinions as to why this happens.
Well it is a personality trait that can be passed down in your gene pool. I have an addictive personality which is why I have to be very careful how I gamble and always use a small bankroll to begin with or I may go crazy and empty the whole thing. It is like any addiction, people with addictive personalities should never abuse drugs or things like that. Which is why I'm glad I can control myself. Once I lose control that will be the end since the addiction sets in and takes over.
