It is a choice as for me, because gambling was originally made to let us or to have some fun, however, it also become the reason why people becomes greedy which is the main reason why it is considered as a threat. I know it is hard to control being greedy, but if you really want to stop or avoid getting addicted, you can as long as it is your choice.
If you have won in gambling then the greed will be there must be able to control ourselves so as not to fall into the losses you experience, remember we must have good principles we gamble just to be happy not to seek profit because it will be difficult to do and we better gamble when there is cold money or at dusk and weekends then this will be suitable for luck.
Many people are mistaken about gambling they are too ambitious to want to continue to profit even though the victory gambling is very thin.
