actually what needs to be learned in playing gambling is how to control yourself and not about winning, that's why many gambling addicts dare to do anything to continue gambling using money from investor assets or their own assets, obviously this is the wrong way because it seems he feels confident that he could turn things around and the money he had lost but instead he spent it all
Just like any addiction, it's hard to stop when you get hooked on anything. Sometimes you make different excuses for yourself to continue what you are doing even though you know it's not good for you or you are going overboard. Self-control is easier said than done, it takes a lot of effort to get away from addiction. Most of the time we are not self-aware that we are starting to get addicted to something till it's too late. I've known a lot of people who haven't gambled till their late age and get addicted to it. Simply saying, gambling was intended to be a source of entertainment however, people find it as a way to earn easy money and end up ruining their life.
