There are some gamblers who come to know about their addiction to gambling even after a long time.
They barely come to know about it, or they simply don't acknowledge the fact that they are addicted.
There are many people who do not understand the addiction even after gambling for a long time.
I don't think it's about a lack of understanding or anything but it's just that they keep ignoring it.
Gambling has negative effects mainly for those who do not understand the addiction.
It has adverse effects for those who can't get out of it as long as they do not acknowledge that they have a problem to deal with.
There are some gamblers who take a break from gambling temporarily when they lose their money and become active again after managing their money.
Taking breaks is a good way to keep yourself safe from excessive losses because you can't stop losing if you keep gambling even when you are constantly losing.
