The main issue I see in those threads here is people totally addicted, investing a lot of money, chasing their losses, increasing their stakes after a loss.

The danger is the addiction, not the odds.

My opinion anyway.
someone who cannot control emotions when gambling if they can double their stakes after suffering a loss, but in fact this is certainly often done by everyone when gambling, the reason may be to try luck to return the capital that has been spent and hope to benefit
It happened to me when I decided to increase my bet so I can get back my loses but since its not my lucky day, I lose more because of that. Addiction is the result of being greed, if all the gambler knows to set limits it can be prevented. Chasing your loses is too dangerous and it usually becomes the reason why you lose a lot of money so try to be more contented about the result of your playing.
That is why it is never a good idea to think that gambling a the only way of the source of your income. It will push you to your limit where you have to spend more and more and eventually you will find yourself dealing with lots of debt. It is too dangerous for a person to think that he could earn if he would have hit the jackpot. The chances are too slim that it might make your life miserable for the rest of it.
