Re: The History Of Gambling.

That is why, as I have said before, in many threads, if people managed to see the game as a means of entertainment, there would be no cases of addiction, because addiction begins when the player has the overwhelming need to win or win no matter what, and since sometimes when you play with a lot of pressure you usually lose, you can't do anything else, and that desperation makes the player more frustrated and when he tries to win he loses, the problem with this is that he lends money, asks for money from their friends, family, and many problems associated with money and the way they play begin, they cannot control greed.

I agree with the bold line because what we need when playing gambling is how to make and use gambling as entertainment so that we will not be dissolved in gambling.
If everyone realized this, they would not spend much money and could stop on time to reduce their money loss while gambling.
But unfortunately, not many people can control this and even get frustrated when they lose control and see losing money in front of them.
And if they win a lot of money, they get greedy and forget that what they got was because of luck.

Somehow I disagree with the bold line. anything can become an addiction, even an entertainment-seeking purpose on a game can be addicting. We have seen lots of kids getting addicted to certain games, so even without gambling, a person can be addicted to a game.

Here is another gambling history note. In the year 1978, May of 26 (Memorial Day weekend) the first casino open in Atlantic City. It was reported that players waited over two hours in line just to get inside.[1]

Thank you very much for the article, I really said the above ´because the moment people see the game as a job, they will feel pressure and in turn a lot of stress, especially when the results are not seen in the game, dear, if we look a way to entertain ourselves, something like when you play the play station, or you play just to have fun, the emotion goes away, well at least that happens to me, maybe at first you play often, but when there is money at risk than fun it turns into desperation wanting to get back or make more money, and I think that's when the addiction starts.

The problem of getting more money when it runs out, and there is nowhere to get it, is when they start lending money, getting into debt, the issue gets complicated.
