A distinctive lack of self-reflection is something very common these days, in my experience many people have very short attention spans and they do not think long term, so they simply react to whatever happens to them, and instead of making a small research and finding out that obtaining profits out of gambling is almost impossible, they keep trying, and once they lose they keep trying anyway as at some point they think their luck will change.
After playing gambling several times, they should be able to reflect on what happened after they decided to play gambling to see whether gambling brought or gave good or bad results. If gambling brings good results in a sense, they can still gamble but must still be able to control themselves and not cross the line. Meanwhile, if they lose, they should try to reduce the time they gamble and even stop gambling before they get into a lot of trouble from gambling.
Both consecutive wins and losses can lead to gambling addiction. When a gambler loses bets repeatedly, he needs to take a break from gambling, but the opposite reaction is seen among gamblers. They plan to gamble more to recover their lost money. As a result they become an addicted gambler within few days. Every gambler must conduct gambling within a limit. Gambling with the hope of large profit leads to the possibility of losing money in a short period of time as well as the possibility of becoming addicted to gambling.
