It's up to those people if there's some betting shop that close to them. It's all about being responsible and the discipline that they can apply to themselves. If they can't be disciplined and they won't want it.
No matter how close or far they reside from the physical casinos, they are going to come there no matter what the situation is. This is all about themselves already and whatever is the circumstance that they're facing if they are determined to go there, they will go.
That's why we still see people that keeps on gambling even if we've giving them 100% of tips on how to stop.
Thats true. I have amazing experience with something similar to this. When I was in university in Sunderland (UK), there were more william hill casinos than the houses. Lolz. Surprisingly they has casinos right on the main road that led to university. The street name was Chester Rd. As far as I remember there were 2-3 different franchises that is Betaway, William Hill, and Corral. All of them were housed with different games, whether its slots, roulette on screen, sports section, they had everything. Me and my friends visited them more often but we realised pretty soon that we are getting addicted to this a lot and we need to stop. It was not that hard to stop it as we made our focus more prompt on the studies, master projects and soon they were like invisible for us in no time. Its all about where you focus, you just need another strong addiction (a good one) to cop up with the first one.
Good that you're able to stop it before your emotions go to the worse part of being attached and addicted to gambling. Since it's a physical casino, there's like the urge or call that you should go there once you've been there.
Because not everyone can do that especially if they don't have any other endeavors on their lives and merely focusing on gambling. They're the ones that are prone to addiction as they will allot most of their times on it.
I think whoever owns those betting shops have placed it strategically to have customers like you who are clos to the university.
Good for you if you do able to stop it midway because usually people would really be just that able to stop completely or made them that change is on the time that they had been devastated with gambling and they did really just that tolerate into those conditions that they had until they would really be seeing themselves getting broke and devastated because of too much involvement with gambling. We do know that it isnt really that bad to gamble as long that everything would really be in moderation but in the time comes that you are already that compromising your finances and at the same time with other relationship specially into your family then this is the best time that you should quit gambling. Dont wait up for everything to get messed up.
You could actually solve out those problems of your own if you are really just that willing to quit gambling for good. It would really be just that depending into your self control
and discipline towards it.
