because......

choose a school to study is a gambling
choose a boss to work with is a gambling
so, gambling is addictive
no one can escape...
The addiction to gambling is very dangerous for people and their family. In my country, a lot of families have broken up because the husband or wife wallow in sensual pleasures of the gambling. "Gambling leads to misery" is the best sentences to describe the negative impact of this game on their family.
It happens when someone takes gambling as a way to earn money! Gambling is certainly not a way to earn money for living! It is a method of entertainment! When I visited Macau back in 2017, I gambled a lot during my stay just to entertain myself and I didn't take it as a source of income to fund my visit! So if you are using a method for what it is not meant for, it will lead to misery for sure!
I think the reason why they are getting addicted to gambling is just because they want an instant money, they want an easy profit which is not possible. Beside, I think another reason is once they play gambling and lose they tend to play again to retrieve their loss then it'll become habit of them which can conclude that you became an addict.
Kind of true! That's a psychological quotient that leads to even bigger issues! It's like taking out a loan at higher interest rate to close a previous loan, which doesn't make any sense! If I loss a significant amount of money in stock market, I would try to recover that losses through traditional investment because that is more secure! It may take time but at the end of the day, I will be getting my losses back! That's what makes more sense!
