The issue of gambling addicts is large, it's positive to some and negative to others, it's the second set that is feeling the brunt and needs help. I will never support anything that is affecting anyone negatively and the person still doing it, people should always observe themselves and try to shun or reduce anything that seems to retard them. In gambling, desperation is the main cause of addiction, they would want to win by all means, and the more they lose, the more they either believe that there is hope to win or are emotional to try to recover back their losses.

Either way, when you know that you are betting and increasing risk and still losing, you might want to take a break. And if you know you can't control this, you should share it with people or get extra help as you might have been so addicted to the extent that you'd crossed the red line.
