You don't get to be specifics here dude. All gamblers really know the consequences of being addicted to gambling. But why they are still getting into it despite the negative effects of it? Simply because they want to enjoy and earn lots of money in the quickest time possible. And no amount of explanation will swayed their mentality.
Yes i guess it is really hard for those who are addicted to gambling to understand the negative outcome of being addicted to it. They didnt even listen to all advices. I knew it because i know someone who are so hooked in gmbling and no matter how hard we tried to let him see what he have done into his life and to his family still he always finds way and sneak out just to go to a casino to gamble.
They had the choice to select the path they want to take, but they ended up taking the path of addiction anyway. The problem is that they believed they can get so much from gambling and that reason alone is enough to get them facing the craziest level of consequence they would not have imagined. Gambling on its own has a lot of impulse that would want to draw you into making decisions without your brain and already fixing your brain to the wrong idea even makes the whole matter worse.
