~ It is incredible how much the mentality can make such a huge difference but it does, if someone gambles with the intention of just having a little bit of fun then it is almost impossible that this person will get addicted to gambling, however if they want to earn money when they gamble then they can easily get addicted to it as they refuse to accept all the losses they have suffered and keep chasing their losses until they lose everything they have.
To avoid misunderstanding we must say that this is not the rule, to lose everything with chasing your losses. You shouldn't chase your losses, that's for sure, but many win when chasing their losses, and that's a fact. If you say, especially to someone young, that you will always lose in the end if you will chase your losses, they may encounter the examples of the opposite and stop believing what you say at all.
