But there are gamblers that are smart enough in the beginning, they know that there is a chance that they can fall to the category of addicts. And yet, despite people having college degrees and have good education, they still failed to control their emotions and then it's going to be late because they have been addicted already.
I can't argue about that as that's reality,
there are real people who failed to control even they've got enough knowledge about the danger of getting too much engagement
with gambling, people who think that they are just enjoying around but in the sad reality they already lose a lot because of gambling.
So even if we start gambling to enjoy and think that we have total control of ourselves, majority are going to be addicted. We've seen in before, perhaps even worst by the news that the OP shared, individual lose everything they had in gambling and do things that is beyond belief and it's hard to explain why they do it except that they are addicted and their minds are not that normal.
No doubt about that, those kinds of people who can't admit that they are already addicted are the one who will keep denying about
their activities, they are engaged, and that engagement leads them to become addicted and who knows what can they do to make things
worse than losing all their savings.
