Yes that's correct.
Gamblers will be in big trouble when their savings run out and their lives suffer. Apart from that, he will also get into trouble with his family and friends because they might be shunned or ostracized because of his own carelessness.
Yes, of course betting is very easy but it will be difficult to win, on the other hand, you will often lose because you play too much and are out of control.
Playing too much and out of control is the main problem here, if these gamblers can control theirselves well enough not to play too much and out of control, they will not have to suffer all this troubles as they will not go bankrupt and want to involve in unhealthy practice as this so as to be able to continually fund their habit.
Looking at the other side, gambling is not hard but winning is and if these same person who they are trying to stop from gambling is lucky and wins a good amount you will see how interested others will be and want to be part of the win or probably have a good share of the money win, the main issues here is the gambler not been able to control their selves and playing too much which eventually turns out to becoming a problem to them and family at Large. If they can control theirselves well enough to know when to stop and all that I'm very sure they will be in less problems than they will be.
I think it's not really a matter is gambling too much, and or not controlling oneself, it's more of one gambling with funds he or she can not afford to lose, looking at the surface if this, it may seem like we are both saying the same thing, but when this is given a critical thought, you will realize it's a bit different.
A gambler may have a lot of money which he or she have chosen to play gambling with, which he or she is also ready to lose, In such a circumstances, it no longer matters how much long and out of control the gambler plays his or her game or betting, since he or she is playing with money he or she was and is still prepared to loose.
But when a gambler is gambling with funds he is not prepared to lose, and even on top of that, gambling out of control, then this will definitely lead to some problems, since it's certain that if the gambler is not lucky enough, he or she may lose greater than he or she gained, and that is how financial problem arises.
