When someone first starts gambling he doesn't think that he will fall into a big addiction. Then he goes there to get an experience. And to get extra pleasure they start playing extra gambling and thus he falls into a big addiction. But it mostly occurs in young people. And if a child sees his parent gambling, he tends to gamble more . So parents should be careful first then their children will be careful
What did you mean the parents should be careful first? it mean the parents shouldn't gamble at all? gambling is supposed to be fun and not for chasing money. Children or young people need to be teach and learn about money management and both disadvantage and advantage about gambling. This will make them to know what's the reason to gamble and when it's a right time/situation to gamble.
