Thee are many gambling stories out there, some good , some sad yet we still make new addicts every day. I don't think the sad stories alone will get future addicts to stop but rather the society must offer hope such that if I know I can earn say 50$ by washing plates for 48 hours I will rather make my 50$ that way and not through gambling.

In washing plates you are sure you will be getting 50$ but in gambling either you can make the same amount or lose out completely depending upon the luck and the game which you will bet on. People who have excess and lose out is fine but for needy it is quite bad.

We will make money through gambling only when we have enough luck, as you can see sometimes we may make higher amounts in order to start continuously gambling. Once they are making money they will start addicting to it.

We will make money through gambling only when we have enough luck

Since when you profit ONLY when you have luck? I can just martingale 10x and leave with profit...

By washing plates your income is confirmed and your mind is clear but in gambling you can even make thousand dollars in an hour but it is not guaranteed and nay lose your $50 in seconds. What verdict do you get from this scenario? When there is a risk the profit will be high and when there is no risk and the income is confirmed you will get less. Dont fool yourself and dont compare job with gambling.

That is the thing and that is the main reason I see those pursuing gambling at all cost are the ones looking for the easy means to make money and then not knowing there is more to life than just gambling.

Gambling can at least bring something huge but it is extremely rare and most of the people who have concentrated on that aspect mostly over the years, do not always get to have the best in life in the long run, as they get it ruined from addiction and in such condition to say the least, it is always a bad thing for anyone to be having a huge expectation from gambling.
