Treating gambling as an entertainment venue will lessen the chance of any big problem that may possible to happen if you go far and become addicted.

Just let it serve its purpose and enjoy, win or lose you satisfied yourself, unlike if you are treating
it as venue to earn money, you are being forced to keep continuing and pushing things even you
are already making bad decisions with your finances. You need to avoid that and keep always in
the driver's seat not to allow greed to dominate you.
Indeed, people should be able to treat gambling as entertainment and no longer regard gambling as a place to make money. Especially after they have suffered many losses every time they gamble and have spent much money too. If they realize that, they can avoid the big problem, gambling addiction because they play gambling only for fun. If they can get pleasure from other things, their desire to gamble will probably decrease, so that will reduce the money used for gambling as well.

At least we can do this and not follow people in gambling so that we are still within reasonable limits of using gambling as entertainment. By limiting that, we can limit the greed that will come as soon as possible to keep tempting us to keep playing. But with these restrictions, we will not be tempted to continue gambling.

yes, I think the main problem is avoiding to see reality as it is
many people approach gambling as a way to make easy money or relying on it as income when in reality it should be entertainment.

if it's too hard for someone to stop gambling they should seek help.
If that's as easy as that, then addiction can easily prevented, buy the reality, it's not. With that wrong thinking about gambling, you will lead to that engagement that will push you to keep playing.

Betting to make money and thinking that it's easy to keep doing it from time to time will surely harm you in the long
run, to the point that you will do everything just to please your gambling desires.
