We will be able to realize that there are much bigger risks there when we understand what gambling is as a whole and how it works in terms of generating wins. What is feared is as you said, instead of getting income what happens is losing money slowly, and "slowly" is what not many gamblers realize who come with the wrong mindset, maybe you understand what is meant "little by little over time it will become a hill" that is the scenario carried out by the casino to take advantage of the gamblers' losses. Of course, the inability to accept defeat will be the starting point for real problems to begin, chasing defeat to reach the break-even point is an action that is not unusual for them to do. In fact, it is difficult to be firm in applying prudence if the motivation for the hope of victory is greater than the precautionary measures, which of course usually means regret stems from such situations.
Therefore, instead of letting everything go to waste, especially letting money just disappear, I think looking for encouragement for awareness is very important, learning from the experiences of other people who are addicted and mired in many problems can be done to increase awareness. After that I think you will be able to think realistically and look for another job that is more profitable.
Actually its not really that hard to understand if you are really just that sensible on what you are doing. You cant really just that make yourself not be able to think about the danger on playing gambling on which it is really just that too impossible that you cant really be able to make yourself that not be able to notice on what are those dangers and what are those risks involved when it comes to gambling. If you do find yourself that not be able to control towards your emotions then the problem would really be that starting from you and you should really be getting rid of gambling if thats on the case because sooner or later you would really be molding up yourself to be an addicted person because there are people who cant really be able to control themselves and really that becoming that impulsive on the things that they've been dealing.
There are those individuals who do really fail on controlling themselves on gambling and this is why they do really ends up on a disaster just because they had made out that wrong decisions into things.
If you wont really be that careful and mindful on the things you've been dealing then you are really that prone into those possible situations that might mess up things along the way.
But the fact of the matter is, isn't the realization of mistakes made really difficult to achieve by most gamblers, especially those with wrong goals? Excessive expectations make gamblers really trapped in a cycle of addiction that is in the subconscious as a result of excessive expectations which of course makes it difficult for them to be able to realize about the mistakes that have been / are being made, maybe on the other hand I would say that they are already quite late to take some precautions if they are already in a situation like this, because it is so difficult to restore awareness that is the main problem, which is why we have to be really careful from the beginning in gambling involvement, all actions must be taken from the beginning and not at the middle stage or even at the end.
So maybe in my opinion they are just waiting for a situation where they really experience a very bad impact in their involvement which of course can make them feel traumatized because usually trauma can at least make their consciousness return even if only a little maybe. All precautions should be instilled and familiarized from the beginning of the involvement when you are new or a beginner.
