The whole point here is that, we only have one thing in mind to cure our boredom, and treated gambling as an entertainment even though it is not, we are just convincing ourselves it is because we are out of option, or too scared try other things out. I think we have to come out of our comfort zone in order to avoid the consequence we might face when we plays gambling

I'd say it depends

Indeed, if you have serious psychological problems in life (like depression or whatever), gambling is not a solution to such problems as it neither solves them nor alleviates them (if only temporarily). But just like with drugs treating anxiety, stress or depression, it can buy you time and give you a push in the right direction to deal with your problems in a genuinely constructive and purposeful way. Whether you actually use this possibility to that effect or simply become addicted (like with drugs) depends entirely on you

That make sense, but also that is the problem that other people being misunderstood about gambling, they think it is addicting but it is them who lacks in a very good mindset towards gambling, or in general. They are playing gambling for the money and doesn't have any goal that is beneficial to them, like being more decisive when it is need, or being good in realization once they commit something really bad, like losing a huge amount of funds.

What they are doing mostly is that they will only take precautions once the damage is done already to them, that is why they always get stuck in a pit where they suffer.
