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?

For me yes. It do sounds great and the idea is what I usually set up in my mind whenever I do want to play gamble. Together with that idea in my mind, I only set up betting small amount of money to help me think that if ever I loss, it is just a small amount that at least I have fun and challenged, at the same time feel that intensity of playing gamble. It is really the right mindset that we are paying for playing to be entertained nothing more, nothing less. The winning part must be taken as a bonus you can earn for having fun and that's all. That is what I literally do whenever I play into an online casino enjoying variety of games at the same time their great bonus for doing my first deposit.
