Well of course because that's the only disease that exists in gambling which is addiction, I think everyone especially gamblers also know that this addiction has taken them too far. But yes there is a point, those who are professionals may be able to avoid that addiction, I'm not saying that professionals have never been addicted at all but I'm sure initially they must have experienced that addiction but over time they can reduce the level of addiction by trying to make peace with themselves, and after that they gamble maybe only a few times a week or a month, I mean it will be very rare and if they gamble they will definitely emphasize self-control because almost all the conditions that are there they have experienced it.

But I don't think that's entirely true, and as for losing they will always experience it even though they have good control, gambling is difficult to predict and we won't know when we will win or lose again. Yes, it is very dangerous and in my opinion those who are addicted to it mean that they are already at a very concerning point, so instead of getting a win but instead are busy with always losing, I understand you don't want to experience that, but I hope you can be more assertive to control yourself, it is better for you to prevent than cure.

It is their own fault when they gamble but they not know how gambling works so that gambling addicts initially think of gambling as place to double their money and then think that gambling is the right place to earn income and many more causes they become addicted and on the one hand they are gambling addicts ignoring all of that so that his mind only focuses on profit, which accidentally shows signs of addiction that he not realize and ends up being addicted.

About professional gamblers, whether they can become addicted, I think the chance is small because what I know is that professional gamblers are gamblers in the past who have had a lot of bad experiences, some even used to be gambling addicts and have now recovered from their addiction and become professional addicts.
This bad experience in the past allows gambling addicts to know how gambling works so that they have better control because they already know that they will never win at gambling unless they cheat using other strategies.

Everyone gambling thinks they're going to be the exception to the rule, and it's hilarious. You're right about the misconception newbies have. They blindly jump in because they think it's a goldmine.

Let's be honest, though: most people learn the hard way. About professional gamblers, though? You are so cute when you think that their past traumas suddenly protect them from addiction. Some people have been through the worst and may be more careful now, but no one is unbeatable. Gambling's appeal can hit anyone, pro or not. Experience can be a teacher, but sometimes, it's just another chapter in a tragic story. Embarrassed
