Sad. Well this applies only not to gamblers, there's a different type of addiction and it leads the same. If you are a long time gambler then it's hard to control the urge to avoid betting more and more money, if you are a good!bler for about a month and became obsessed in betting money then you should slowly change your attitude cause that can lead to trouble when it became a habit. Being a gambler is hard to avoid these days because we have charity sweeptakes, cockfighting ; what I mean here is that there are many people who are gambling in a legit way but ended up losing their assets. The culture and the surroundings around affects it too as well as how he view life and sadly some people die without realizing that they became succumb to that addiction.
