Gambling addiction is what makes gambling to appear as an irresponsible man's activity, I knew of a case where a chronic gambler had to serially sell all his household properties down to his personal wears just to be able to keep up with the gambling life with the hope that eventually he will hit a major winning streak that will change his life much better than it where, but till as at when I was brief about the case his life is moving continuously from frypan to fire.
This utopian believe by addicted gamblers is what sustain their addiction and create a mirage to their life expected hope to no avail but ruin after ruin. It's really takes a lot of discipline and self determination to escape from the cage of addiction.
It is bad to never think about how a gambler can control his desire and greed to gamble. Uncontrolled gambling is a bad thing and will only have a huge impact on the gambler including psychologically as well as financially.
Becoming a responsible gambler is one of the best pieces of advice, but it is advice that is easy to say but hard to put into practice. I'm sure about that, because 8/10 gamblers will probably become greedy rather than quit after winning.
