Excessiveness in anything can even be terrible and there should always be a time for everything. Gambling is not even something someone should be so much focused on, if they actually do not want to end up becoming addicted to it. There is always the need to stay realistic and be in control most of the time and that cannot be done when you are spending most of your time and your days in gambling and then expecting something good to come out of it when you are possibly going to be losing so much at the end anyway.
People need to realize that they are wasting away their precious years if they are putting so much attention to gambling because it never ends well, and for someone who is still very young and have years ahead of him or her, the chances to still make things right is always there, but for someone who has actually wasted a whole lot already, is bad. There are things you can do in your youthful age that when you get hold, the ability to do it will no longer be there.
Fixation is already a sign of addiction so we can already say that someon who is spending too much time is already at some point addicted to it. We can't blame the young ones tho. This generation likes to do anything in the internet. That's one of the downside of online gambling. It became too much accessible that even the ones who shouldn't gamble yet are already involved in it.
