Gambling means that we lose more than we win, but we decide to gamble. Most gamblers, when asked, say they have lost more than they have won. When asked why they don't give up gambling after hearing from them that the losses outweigh the gains, they say they are waiting for better odds. If a gambler were to quit gambling after losing money, their gambling losses would not exceed their gambling gains. Gambling is hard to quit when you start gambling, a gambler gets more motivated when he gambles and when he loses by gambling he wants to recover that loss whether you win or lose gambling definitely pulls you to gamble. Gambling must be done with our conscience and never with emotions.
I have not known a single player who could make money from gambling, maybe people want to play because they sometimes manage to win something and they think that they can do it again, but in the end they lose more, trying to achieve victory.
Among my friends there are many who have tried gambling at least several times, but few do it on an ongoing basis, these are mostly just one-time attempts and after quick losses it all ends for them.
