If you were raised in an environment which told you gambling is bad, your mindset will never change, and once you’ve tried it, you’ll feel the guilt. However if you weren’t raised in that environment, you’ll do just fine. Addiction is when you keep doing it but hiding it from other people, plus denying it. The more you do that, the more you’ll feel the need to play. Also, if the stakes are high and you keep winning, there’s an absolute chance you’ll get addicted. To avoid, one must practice the art of SELF CONTROL.
