But this does not mean that everyone cannot control the gambling activities they do. I'm sure when someone is aware of the losses in the gambling activities they are doing, they will slowly try to control them. And be a responsible gambler. And it's just a matter of time, the sooner he realizes the "loss" he is experiencing, the sooner he will try to control himself.
I have to disagree with this. Addiction isn't something you can control or choose to have it or not. Anyone is prone to addiction but on different levels. It depends on how vulnerable the person in question is. Everyone know that gambling is not always profitable and that the chances of losing are higher than those of losing but they keep playing till they become addicts. Knowing the risks doesn't exempt you from becoming an addict.
You are right and I completely agree with you, knowing the dangers of something does not exempt one from becoming a victim of that thing if he or she indulged in it, and also, constant losses in gambling does not stop an addict from gambling even though at the end of it, they're always in regret for the money lost, that will regret is mainly for that period or for just that day, give them some time, they will get over it easily and find their way into the casino again.
I had a friend who was an addicted gambler, and after losing money he never expected losing, he will go home and cry all night and swear never to gamble again for the rest of his life, once his back from work the next day, if you look for him at home and he's not around, look for him in a nearby casino and you will find him there gambling again, this is exactly what gambling addiction does to gamblers who are addicted .
