We don't need to be sympathetic to people who gamble recklessly because it is their own fault that they gamble excessively. Even they lose a lot of money and feel they should be pitied, but it still can't change their situation for the better, but it can be a lesson for us gamblers not to overdo it in gambling which causes big losses.
slightly disagree with your opinion on this matter.
we may sympathize with other people who experience bad things in their gambling, but that doesn't mean pity, but only to be sympathetic and learn from their bad experiences so that we dont do it in the future. sometimes we will not experience this experience ourselves or it will be experienced by other people, so if you feel sympathetic to other people about their defeat or bad luck, you can use that experience as a valuable lesson not to make mistakes and it is better to be sympathetic to other people's experiences than your own. your own bad things and having to be sympathetic to yourself which will make yourself feel regretful or sad.
all gambling is always closer to luck or big risk, but as long as you have good self control and proper understanding of gambling, a gambler will not experience anything bad.
