People hardly fulfil their needs due to which they accept to capture money from others and become a gambler after which they also don't shy to become a thief.
Parents should take it serious and from start they should teach their children about it but some parents think gambling as a simple activity of fun but at the end gamblers become cause cause of their hardship and torture them that if they don't give them money they will do something bad with them.
