Can gambling actually change someone who is bad mannered for good instead of getting them more complicated in their wrong doings, same way we can see gambling as a means of getting ourselves attached to something that could get us being occupied than having much time on unnecessary things, we should also be mindful of not allowing irresponsible gambling to affect our personal relationships.
Gambling can never change anyone that is bad to good but it can make it worse if care is not taken. This is the reason why we have to be careful as we gamble so that we are not doing it amiss and causing irresponsibility for us. Gambling might be good and can be fun and give us money but the approach we engage it with matters so well. This is why some people will be having a good experience with gambling and telling good stories about how it earns them money and still have their fun through it, and while this good testimony might be split among users, it might still be true for a single user, I mean both of them (testimonies) to prove that gambling could be good.

This makes gambling not entirely as bad as some will even think of it, it now depends on the smartness, carefulness or carelessness of the users. The sportsbook to be precise is a very good one for those who are wise, they can have their good experience with it if they are careful and will never affect anything good in them, be it relations or finances, it is all about the budget and plans and the speculations of the bettor. The time they have for betting matters too, we should not let it affect us and cause us to be irresponsible for whatever reason, once the spare time allotted for it has lapsed, we should just do other necessary things and let go to avoid letting it occupy our good time unnecessarily which could strain other things in life.

Actually, the addiction can't depend on the smartness, alertness, or carelessness of the user. Once you get addicted, you cannot easily get out of that addiction, and it is not under one's control. The lure of money earned from gambling strongly attracts people to gambling in the hope of winning more money. More or less everyone has greed for money, it does not depend on smartness or unsmartness. Addiction makes people so intoxicated that there are instances of suicide after losing money.

People who think that gambling is only for entertainment and its negative side cannot affect them, even if you start gambling with these thoughts, you can't control yourself if you do not find a healthy environment. So for Responsible gambling, I think the environment is the key factor.
