Ok! I was actually trying to get reasons why people get addicted to gambling which we all know is more self inflicted. However, I came up with this theory for someone who may actually want to gamble and then would not want to get addicted based on trying to fix their mentality about it and I would like to seek your opinion on what you think about it, if it can actually end up working for any gambler or not.

The theory is;
If you want to gamble, see it more like you are paying the casino or gambling platform to have some fun (just like you do to go watch some movies in cinema), which if you are paying for anything, you are not meant to expect it back. The good thing however is that, you can actually end up being paid more for having that fun if you get lucky, but the chances of seeing that happen is pretty slim. In that light, if you cannot actually live with doing what I said above, then you should not be gambling at all.

Does this sound like a mentality that can help anyone understand what they are in for if they indeed want to gamble or something even those who are tending towards addiction can set their mind to so as not to get into that deep gambling hole that is hard to come out from?

Then in my own conclusion, gambling is purely based on luck. Even if you are new or veteran in gambling if you are not lucky to win, you will eventually lose your resources if you get addicted to it. So see to it that when you gamble, make sure to gamble only the amount that is not needed for your daily expenses and savings.

That is a great suggestion though I don't think there is such thing an amount that is not needed for daily expenses or savings because if that is an excess on your budget, you can just put it in your savings account or piggy bank if you have one. You can save and at the same time you will be having money when there are some emergencies around your family or house. Maybe you can just invest that extra money into something that will give you profit in the near future or if you want to have fun you can just go to your hobbies maybe play online games and spend there your money.

People do have different interest some would really be sensible on their future and some would be just confident on the money that they do have on their own pockets or bank accounts. Saving behavior will vary on each individual,some might save it for another purpose and some will definitely get funds out of that savings just to seek our leisure and there nothing wrong with that yet we do have all the control of our funds but the important thing is when you engage to gambling always think that all things should really be on moderation or in control if you don't like to experience problems later on.
