People who are alcohol addict, their mind stops working when they drink more alcohol but still they don't make decision which ruin their lives whereas the gambling addicts are so cruel to themselves, their mins is also working yet they keep on playing, take loan, sell their belongings only to play more gamble or recover their losses.

Alcohol, substance, and gambling addictions, they all sometimes contribute to aggressive behavior of the person, behaviors, and decisions that could ruin their lives or others'. It is not limited to gambling addiction alone.

From the article shared by the OP, the 65-year-old grandfather could be in deep gambling addiction; he would never do what he has done if not.

It is not age limited but quite dangerous for underage gamblers who have been targets for some online gambling platforms years ago before proper regulation requirements. The addicted gambler can lose control over his emotions and gamble with the money he can't afford to lose. That is why there are so many beggars on casino chats looking for free tips after losing rent money on useless slots. It is what it is and only hard life lessons may change their perception of this industry, IMHO.

Some of those might be legit and some of those are fake and just pretending just to lure in for those winners or huge gamblers to be that in pity and would really be sending out some tips but actually it is one of the ways or methods on which those people would really be getting some money at least if they are lucky but most of the time on which gamblers wont really be that a fool on easily believing into those pretentious situations.
If ever it would really be that legit then its really that a sad situation but if not then i wont really be shocked anymore. You would really be definitely putting up yourself into such condition if you arent
really that too wary about the risks on which gambling do impose. You would really be ending up on getting wrecked if you arent that minding about its risks and this is why we should really be that careful.

End point still with how you handle your emotions, I can see your point about knowing the grounds and how you should take care of it before getting engage into gambling, knowing that there are many factors that may affect your gambling activities and knowing also the big risk behind this industry, you should assess and make sure to know more about it before getting inside or stepping inside, we read a lot of possible things to happen when a person can no longer control his gambling addiction a sad reality that really happening when a heavy addiction already being installed to a person.
