Well that's obvious, the reality is like that, not only those who experience addiction can feel the impact but obviously the people around them will also definitely at least experience the same thing, especially people who are very close to them, but yes the impact for them will not be too significant. Yes, that's right, things that they never expected are very possible and very likely to do if they have really lost control, one of which may be that they will commit crimes, or borrow money from their colleagues with various promises that they will not even keep, and also besides that maybe they could steal their friend's goods to sell and the money is allocated to gambling, it is very possible and indeed it is not uncommon for such cases to occur.

Therefore, it is very important for them including us to maintain a healthy mindset when we want to gamble, none other than because that will be able to minimize our losses. I'm sure none of the gamblers want to lose, so that's why it's true as you say, they must really think that this gambling is only as entertainment, and not at all a place to earn income. Because with that mindset, it is unlikely that they will end up addicted, it is very rare, so the key is in themselves.

Yeah, many families have been destroyed because of gambling, where the head of the family basically gambled all their money away, leaving the family with nothing.

It might be ironic because some of them are trying to get more money for their families, and yet they end up with nothing in the end.

Well obviously that is very true, but I think it also depends on their own level of addiction, if they are already at a high stage of addiction then it is very likely that they as the head of the family to risk everything they have, and as a general result then the economy in the family will be destroyed and after that it is not uncommon for some of them to divorce, in my place there have been many cases like this. And yes as I said above it depends on how their intentions come to the gambling, if they come just for fun then I think maybe unwanted events like that can be minimized.

As we know if someone (gambler) has a damaged mindset in the sense that they almost completely depend on gambling, then instead of the victory they get but instead they lose indefinitely. Therefore, as I said above, your goals and mindset greatly affect the impact you will receive in the end, so I think it is better to prevent than to cure.

It's true that before stepping into the gambling arena it is advisable to set clear goals. for example today I want to win $500 in gambling, and if I lose I only want to lose $200. if you have a target like that, I'm sure you will be more able to manage your brain so as not to fall into greed which ultimately makes you lose all the money you bring when playing gambling.
