The thing about gambling addicts is that they are aware of all these. They don't even need our advice for they have heard all of it. Now you asked, why don't these people leave gambling and do something worthwhile? The answer to this question is that they are bored and they have nothing better to do. Despite the consequences, they are still gambling just because that's what they are used to do when there's nothing to do. They are already comfortable in the amount of things that they know to the point that they do not feel the need learn a new thing. They got comfortable with their salary that they don't try to start learning new ways to earn more money.

To answer this thread's question, "Are online gambling games fixed?" Yes, they are fixed. They are fixed in a way that you're going to lose by the end. Why? Because as people, we only stop gambling when we have lost our money. When we're in profit, we don't really think of quitting. We keep on betting, thinking that we might be on a roll. The end result of gambling for us is fixed. We always go home thinking, "I should've cashed my money out when I still had that much profit. Now I lost it and I lost my bankroll as well. Well, nevermind, I enjoyed anyway. (now for justification of losing both the profit and money, we tell ourselves:) Isn't gambling for entertainment anyways? "
