Sadly a gambling addict doesn't understand what's self control and discipline, he will try to gamble as long as he have money and will try anything to get money. If every gambler understand about self control and read every warning message on the casino, there will be no gambling addict.
I think they're born to become gambling addict that used to make the casino's owner become rich, make a debt collector to work etc.
Agree, the mistake of a gambler is not being able to control himself and be disciplined. I actually like to play gambling-like games, like poker, dominoes etc. But I play gambling, there are still limits and I can control myself because I consider it only for entertainment. Every now and then I want to try to play when I lose, but think again, because thinking too much eventually makes me lazy to make plans to play gambling. Because for me there is a fund limit for playing gambling, if the limit is up then I will stop and play again the next day. To play gambling, you must be smart in making postal funds that must be issued. Don't let when we lose we can't control it and in the end we do it again.
To me, the psychology of a gambling addict, he will stop gambling, not when he wins big, but when he has nothing left to bet.
Self control really matters alot in gambling and it's those that lack self control that would fall victims to becoming addicted and getting to the stage of wanting to loan money for gambling activities, something that has very high risk, it might sound insane but things like this happen regularly in our society, you'll hear of cases where someone use their tuition fees or rent money to gamble and end up doing awful things like getting drunk or suicial attempts when they lose, all these are due to lack of self control because one that does won't even consider taking the risk matter how sure they're about the game they're betting on.
That mentality of wanting to quit when you recover your lost or when you have nothing to bet with is very poor and such people would end up losing everything they have to gambling or become serious addicts because the more you try to win the house is the more you stand a chance of losing more.
