this is a 2018 thread, although the question OP talks about is something that no matter how many years pass there will always be this problem in the gambling world, I think we should have let this thread die and create another one if anyone wanted to discuss this subject that has been seen in the gambling world
That really an existing problem as people had never learned how to escape or to avoid such addiction but they let this thing happen to them, and we have nothing to do with them because that was their choice either. But I think, they are comfortable with their life caught into addiction because, in the first place, they will surely find a way how to stop this, however, they did nothing but just to continue their addiction.
