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 .

You should not allow yourself going into a phase or condition that you are already on the brink on making yourself that totally wrecked out by gambling on which it do leaves you on having no money at all or the

time that you would be sleeping on the streets, or had been leaved out by your family just because of the irresponsible act that you have done. We know that it isnt really that something shocking on what gambling could really be put you on such condition or situation on which it would really be leading out on a phase on which you would be thinking on taking suicide if everything you do see that there's no solution into it. If you wont really be making yourself that responsible then you would really be ending up on a disaster specially on gambling where spending money would be always be the main act to be done.

Be responsible and be mindful about your gambling spending so that you wont really b seeing yourself on a situation where you are struggling already with your day to day living or survival.
This is where people do usually miss out on doing so just because they do blinded up themselves on acquiring profits on gambling which we know that its never been simple
and totally relies or depends on luck.
