Those who gamble daily are addicts and don't gamble for fun. You will find them more than those you are talking about. Gambling is entertainment but when it becomes addiction the gambler himself won't be able to recognise this issue.

Very true. Gambling everyone starts as fun and when someone plays gambling they get attracted to it and at some point the gambler becomes addicted to gambling. I have seen many gamblers who started gambling only for fun and now become completely addicted to gambling, and have sold many of their assets at a loss and lost the money in gambling. So once a person becomes addicted to gambling it is very difficult to get rid of this addiction.

Yeah, mostly in poker or specifically any card games that can bring this situation. I am not sure about online gambling because there is no way we can tell if someone has gotten hurt to that extent but I have seen this happening physically. People just casually get started with the card games on the table and they play for the real money. Most of the time they will lose a lot of money and as we know there is only one winner they would go nuts and even start a fight with each other. Seen this in my country with drunk peeps! You won't believe how horrible the situation gets over the period time when same group of addicts meet each other and start gambling their money.

This might be the case with online gambling sites too but there is no way to tell if someone is throwing away their laptop after losing the bets etc. Lolz. But yeah, it should be taken way carefully. There is no coming back if we get addicted to it.

Gamblers play more card games offline, and they lose the most money in this game. You will find these gamblers in every country, many countries have strict gambling laws so they play secretly. Sports betting is more popular offline in my country, and gamblers lose huge amounts of money in sports betting. Because overconfidence in sports betting emotionally influences the gambler more to take large amount of bets. So if someone becomes addicted to gambling, he cannot quit this addiction until he becomes bankrupt.

Haha, addiction to gambling is lot a curse my friend, it's just a gambling disorder, lucky ones still find a way around their addictions before it turns chronic, while the unlucky ones, well, like you said, keep gambling even after they've gone bankrupt, they can go hungry the whole day provided they find some money to satisfy their gambling urge.

Anyways, you are right about card games, I mean I myself have never even had the thought of playing a card game offline, reason being that I don't trust the system to be really fair, I enjoy card games face to face with my opponent, atleast this way, if I don't win, I know for sure it's because he or she really played better than me.
