Of course, that's probably because everyone feels uncomfortable being ordered around, and you probably know that rules are a pain in the ass. But I do think that one should have strong discipline in this matter, apply some self-control factors, it's something they should do just for their own good. I think before they gamble, they should first understand all the risks in gambling itself. But well on the other hand I also understand that gambling is very susceptible to what is called mental, psychological which can really make them emotional, when they are emotional then any restrictions they have or including advice from others will have no effect and are useless. The mind is already completely dominated by their own emotions, so it is quite difficult and even very difficult to be able to reconcile with yourself when you are emotional because maybe you have experienced a lot of defeat there. But I would say that this is normal and all gamblers must feel how difficult it is to be able to control themselves there, and also in my opinion instead of them being busy with the self-control that they have to do, they better try their best to stop gambling, that's the only best way.

It's in our nature to occasionally enjoy ourselves and take some risks, right? People, wonderful people, do this all the time. You speak of self-control as if it were effortless. Have you ever sat at a table with lots on the line? Have you experienced the rush and the clammy palms? Living in the moment is just as important as knowing the hazards! But, oh no, you'd rather suggest that everyone disperse and call it a day due to a few unlucky cards?

Don't get me wrong; I understand that feelings can impair judgment. Now, let's be honest. telling individuals to completely give up gambling? Simply put, that won't happen. Some people simply have the touch. And what about that? Rather than pointing fingers, let's educate. Let's innovate while bringing the finest practices to the table. Now there's an idea: play responsibly. Let's revitalize gambling in a more sensible and healthy manner

However, to compare a sporting event to the detrimental nature of gambling? That is comparable to comparing fruits to, I dont know, chainsaws? It is terrible to combine the two. Sports demand self-control, training, and a wholesome lifestyle. What about gambling? Not at all.

Yes, I believe in thriving in the present, but not at the expense of another person's future. There is a significant distinction between "living in the moment" and making life-threatening decisions. How about "play responsibly?" Are you kidding? This is equivalent to instructing someone to consume junk food responsibly. We need more than catchy slogans to solve this problem. If you're going to discuss education and innovation, show me the strategy, not just the words.
