That's true, it's not even just gambling in my opinion, there are many of the same things including entertainment but you have to need money to be able to enjoy it or do it, including traveling to places, such as zoos and other recreational places. However with gambling, it is the same as paid entertainment, this entertainment has a negative impact as you said but the negative impact depends on how we respond to it, if it is just entertainment in the sense that the money used is clear. will be lost then we must be able to accept it without thinking that the money that has been lost must be returned. Therefore we should have good thoughts about gambling, not expect more from gambling because it will kill us in the future.
I agree with you if they have good self-control maybe they won't have a problem with the gambling. they do also with the self-control we have of course we will have limits in gambling, including a set budget limit, and a time limit for gambling too, because if one of these is not owned small problems may occur but have the potential to become big and trigger the occurrence of gambling addiction. So I think they can gamble with a set budget and it's definitely not too big. then this won't be a serious problem.
Many forms of entertainment require money, such as gambling, but entertainment from gambling can have a bigger impact than other forms of entertainment. Gambling can make someone addicted to gambling, especially if they do not have discipline and responsibility in gambling. The more often they gamble, the more money they will lose at the gambling table, so they must be able to control themselves when gambling to control the use of their money. Those of us who already know about this must also be able to use gambling as entertainment so that we will not gamble excessively because there are risks and consequences. Many people cannot bear the risk so they lose a lot of money.
By having self-control, they can prevent many losses and will not experience gambling addiction problems. They can take good care of themselves while gambling and after they have finished gambling, they will not have the thought of immediately returning to gambling because they need to rest first. They know that without good self-control, they will only lose a lot of money and will not be able to win much if they are unlucky. When playing gambling, they can control the use of their money so they won't spend a lot of money just to gamble.
Friends of my gamble with a budget and mindset. They seem to enjoy it without the risks. Its like an internal check-and-balance. They play and delight, yet they know when to stop. Really, its impressive. It highlights self-awareness, a necessary. Knowing one's limits is vital. However, I realize not everyone has this control. That's when you bring up risks and repercussions. Awareness of these risks and its dissemination are crucial. Gambling should be done with full awareness of its risks. I always encourage educated decision-making.
