One of the primary reasons why people stay addicted for long is to win big. They think a big win will solve financial and all other problems in their lives.
It is normal if they think like that because they read and see some people who are playing gambling can win so much money to be like those people. They tend to play gambling because they hope that they can win that money in one day and enjoy the money for their life. But they do not think that they will not win that much money easily but they can lose all of their money before they can get big win money.
