The essence of people's propensity to look for shortcuts and frequently overlook the wealth of useful information that is readily available is captured in your comment. Many people chase after short-lived advantages at the expense of significant, well-researched discoveries that could completely change their strategy.
The disparity in thankfulness is both perplexing and extremely worrisome. It says volumes about people's tendency to point fingers rather than accept sincere help, as you have observed. It seems as though there is a natural aversion to reflection and the idea that one's own actions could be the cause of one's problems. This broader behavioral pattern is microscopically represented in the world of online casinos. Even though there are many and difficult to spot traps, gamblers' self-imposed blindness makes matters worse.
Most people do not think long term and only care about the short term, that is simply the way they are wired and they will never change, there is substantial evidence that long term thinking is superior to short term thinking when it comes to the outcomes we can get, but has this knowledge inspired a change in a lot of people in order to improve their lives? Not really since they do not care, and since this is the case then it is not surprising to still see many people sacrificing their future just to enjoy the present a little bit.
Well, as far as i believe you are right, one thing i have to tell you is that, sometimes, it's still very good to just live your live for today, enjoy it as much as you can and let tomorrow and whatever future we think we have fend for itself. don't get me wrong though, a man without a future is as good as doomed, for what can a man actually be living for if not for the future?, what i am saying in essence is that, in gambling most especially, there is actually no future if you ask me, gambling is not a career, neither is it a business, any responsible gambler should gamble for the now, for long term gambling can also mean loses for the gambler, for as we already know, a gambler stand a very high chance of losing money to the casino in the long term than in the short term.
