There are gamblers who gamble with common sense they are not addicted to the gambling and therefore they are not trouble some for the families and friends.
It is only those gamblers who are addicted , become annoying for their families, use excessive money and even their mood and their way of life becomes extremely disturbed cause of the gambling addiction.
I agree with your opinion, that a gambler will not become an addict if he is aware of all the risks when playing, if he plays too much, puts money in the hope of winning, of course that is impossible, on the contrary he will lose. all the money will be lost. And that will cause problems in his family and the problem in him is that he will regret having done that without thinking about other people.
That's what being a responsible gambler is all about. At least he can realize how long he has been gambling so he can immediately decide to stop gambling and not look back on whatever has happened. He could go back to gambling another day, forget about his previous losses, and have no intention of recovering his losses. And it won't cause problems for him so he won't have any problems with his family because he can still be responsible with his gambling. It's different if he gambles too often, where he also loses a lot. There will be emotions that will rise and become high, and it will affect his psychology and emotions so that it will disrupt his and his family's life.
That's right, friend, gamblers who have responsible behavior will make it a good habit too, the same as what is done when gambling, responsible gamblers will not lose control, and realize that gambling is just entertainment, don't invest too much money in it. lots of money here, and can control yourself when you want to gamble. Apart from that, responsible gamblers are those who don't take money for their family's needs, because it won't create new problems in their family, and I'm sure they gamble using the remaining money they need for their daily needs, and they only gamble with small amounts of money.
