yes.. indeed, addiction to gambling can be influenced by our own views on gambling, because when we talk about gambling as "fun" then we will be normal when gambling, but things are different when we think that when gambling is for a profit, where in the end we will lose control and continue to chase victory.
Most of the gamblers say that they are playing gambling for fun but in reality, their focus is to make money. When your aim is to get money from gambling, that's where the problem starts. You start to think differently. On every loss, we (the gambler who is addict) become more aggressive and put more money to recover the loses.
Greed is what makes them so aggressive when gambling. A gambling addict is never grateful for the winnings he gets, he always wants more than the winnings he previously got. So that what happens is only a loss that he gets in gambling. But once addicted to gambling, it will be very difficult to get out of this zone. I consider that gambling addiction is like we are trapped in quicksand, which when we are more acting and behaving carelessly in gambling, what happens is that we will only sink deeper.
