One of the reasons why gamblers mostly lost their money is because of trying or aiming for a big win, instead of enjoying and allowing
the entertainment to fill the fun they wanted to have money to complete the enjoyment.
If you can look on that side of gambling, then it's a safe sailing for yourself as most of the time failure to control
yourself always push you to keep on playing.
Addiction is the worse outcome once you can't no longer control both your lust and your emotions.
Definitely, the goals of those people are completely misplaced, they seem to have forgotten that gambling is just an activity you do for the fun you can obtain out of it and nothing more, by trying to make it out to be something that is not then they are making a huge mistake, and while some realize the mistake they have made early and can limit their losses, there are many other gamblers which fail to do so and accumulate huge losses because of it.
