Because people are being introduced to gambling wrongly,they are thought that gambling can bring them Huge winning but it wasn’t told that the risk is there more than the chance of winning so the thing is when they gamble they seek for win but not accepting defeat.
But if we will only change the views of people about gambling from profiteering to Enjoyable?for sure the addicted people will be more lesser and may end up stoping .
It's a case to case basis some gambler become addicted without them knowing that they are taking things to much, they built a defense mechanism that no reasoning can force them to give up gambling if you don't have a good character, you will likely end up gambling a lot and develop an addiction to gambling.
Well that is the stupidity of gamblers for not accepting they are being addicted and also the family that surrounds them is not helping them to exit addicted .
