Gambling should be your choice, you shouldn't let anyone compel or persuade you into it.

Saying that gambling is a choice sounds like a BS excuse to me. Doing drugs is also "a choice". Becoming an alcoholic is "a choice" as well.
Ruining your life is a choice. Sometimes the people lose control over their behavior and their choice suddenly becomes an addiction.
Being addicted is not a choice, it's an illness that has to be cured. The life story you are describing seems like a scam to me.

Right, I agree with what you said. that in life, we will always be faced with choices. whether it's difficult or a more challenging choice. everything, back to ourselves. So, overall I agree with what you said.

Speaking of addicts, addiction is not a choice regardless of the type of addiction. but what happens is, someone allows himself to get carried away with excessive pleasure so that it ends in addiction. Gambling is fun entertainment in today's highly sophisticated technological era. starting from traditional gambling, developing into land gambling and reaching where we can access gambling via the internet. but basically everything is the same, that gambling contains risks in it. and a gambler, must be aware of it. Gambling is not an option, but we can make it a fun entertainment activity. without having to become an addict, let alone harm the people around us.

Very well said friend, really a well detailed and structured comment..
Gambling addiction is a not an emotion we choose, it's mostly the result or should I call it consequences of our actions, gambling should be mostly seen as a fun activity, but it's rather unfortunate that most gamblers, even after knowing this, tend to forget easily, and before they know it, they are already carried away by the eager to make money, which is where the whole program starts..
I hope we all learn and always have the consciousness that gambling is a way to have fun, rather than a way to make money.
