Affection is one thing too when a person becomes a gambler due to the influence of his gambling friends. They will force you to gamble and do what they are doing because you will have the feeling that you don't belong if you won't do what they does.

I gamble too because of the surroundings and that started to give me a chill on how fun is to gamble. But as I grow, I realize that it's because of the influence that other people made to you and the feelings you'll get are just second.
