Of course it is very easy if gamblers can stop their gambling habit if they continue to accept defeats in gambling. But for people who are addicted to gambling, it will be difficult to stop... because it has become their habit. every week or even monthly to improve his family's economy.. it's impossible for him to stop..
People need to understand that gambling is not something that can improve the financial status of their family or themselves but it is just a luck-based thing where you might win sometimes when you are lucky but you will lose more in the long run, and winning in gambling cannot be constant, you may lose $20 today but you are most likely going to lose $40 the next day, or the day after that, so having high expectations from gambling is useless as that will only hurt you at the end of the day.
So it's better if someone doesn't ruin their lives and lose everything they have only in trying to earn a living for themselves and their family because once you get addicted to gambling, it is too difficult to get out of it and you won't stop until you have sold and used everything you own in gambling.
