Gambling is a game that has an addictive effect. Most people who have joined gambling sites will find it difficult to get out of the gambling circle. It doesn't matter how much you lose at gambling, as long as we still have money, we will continue to gamble

Can you share your first experience playing gambling? and who told you about gambling sites?

I myself know gambling sites from my own friends. I idly and try to deposit. Starting from playing with a little money, after a while I didn't know how much money I had spent playing gambling

- It only becomes addictive if the gambler wins at the casino where he or she is betting. And it is up to him whether he will permit the addiction to ingratiate itself into his gambling psyche. However, that can happen if he gambles and, despite experiencing success, he does not allow it to drive him toward addiction.

And if he accomplishes that, it may be argued that he is a responsible gambler, which can also be considered, in my opinion, because he has control over his gambling and doesn't allow it to lead to negative outcomes.

Well, that says that not every gambler is an addict because there are some gamblers who are well aware of what they are doing and will not do anything that might be a trouble to them when the consequences comes knocking at their doorstep. But we literally cannot say as well that even if they have the full control of their minds, they are already not in the risks of getting addicted because in every activity they have, there will be always a chance for them to be addicted because after all, they are just human beings like us who are vulnerable of anything.

Gambling, at its core, is about decisions and risks, right? Decisions on how much to stake, when to walk away, when to push the envelope. Some, you've noted, have an iron grip on these decisions. But grip slips. Why? Because, well, brain chemistry. Those endorphins, that rush, its all too tantalizing. Even the wisest of gamblers, those with PhDs in self-control, cant always predict their brain's next craving.

Yet, here's an offbeat idea: What if we fused gambling with education? No, really. Imagine casinos with compulsory “wise gambling” seminars. A slot machine that quizzes you on self-control tactics before you can play. Crazy? Maybe. But intertwining knowledge and excitement might just change the game. Literally. Keep a sharp mind, always assess risks, and remember - vulnerability isnt always a vice. Sometimes, its just human.
