On the other hand I think that if they have to sell part of the assets they have just to gamble then obviously in my opinion their goal is not to seek entertainment but to make it.
This method is considered not good, having to sell assets just to finance gambling because gambling should only be entertainment, not a game that makes a lot of money, let alone making it a source of income, so stopping gambling when you lose is the right choice, not selling assets to fulfill pent-up emotions due to experiencing defeat, let alone gambling, trying to recover from defeat.
I know that being a gambler is hard, it's hard to control yourself, especially when you experience defeat and emotions, but every gambler also has the choice to follow his feelings or stop there so as not to sell assets, let alone seek loans from banks, let alone loan sharks, that is not recommended and is not a good way to become a responsible gambler. Gambling should be entertainment, not a place to make money
Their actions have shown an excessive approach by selling some of the valuable assets they have just for gambling allocations, when on the other hand there is absolutely no certainty and guarantee whatsoever to produce a win and with this then it seems that I can slightly conclude as I said earlier that they came not to seek entertainment but to seek victory and it seems that they are in a cycle of closing losses by seeking victory. Of course it is true as you said, we allocate money to gambling to pay for the entertainment we will feel during the game and not as a tool to lure something bigger, it would be impossible if basically their struggle is only based on luck which of course always cannot be known when it comes.
Yes, engaging in gambling is not that fun, there will always be temptations that are difficult for us to ignore, and if we are wrong in our approach and not in accordance with what is recommended by common sense then obviously this activity will make us suffer a lot of problems. The application of self-control and some other restrictions will be difficult if they come with the wrong understanding and point of view, on the other hand we can say that quitting is always the best solution but it is not that easy for them to do so because it is difficult to achieve awareness in such situations.
