That's true, and I think it's because they misunderstand gambling so they experience many detrimental losses. It also seems difficult to realize that they are addicted to gambling, because indirectly by them always gambling frequently, it indicates that they are addicted to gambling, and not only do they not realize it, they also won't admit that they are addicted to gambling. because it may not be acceptable if there are people who think they are addicted to gambling, even though that is the reality.
as I said before, they must be able to introspect themselves to be able to avoid major risks that will occur. If someone has a wise mindset, I think they will never take rash actions, especially with gambling which is closely tied to money and money is of course an important thing in life, only crazy people spend a lot of money on gambling, even though it is their right. but I think their families will also say or think the same as me, because no family is happy with the behavior of a family member who is addicted to gambling.
Many of them have a misunderstanding about using gambling. They think that gambling is a place to make money using money, even though gambling is a place to have fun where people come to the casino to have fun. Even though some people win some money, it is just a bonus for those who enjoy gambling as entertainment. But those who misunderstand it don't realize that gambling should be used as such and not to make money. They will only become addicted to gambling, which they will not even realize. They can't stop gambling because they are still trying to make money from gambling even though it is difficult for them.
You are right in saying that doing self-introspection can avoid big risks that could come at any time. They can prevent big losses and don't have to lose a lot of money because they can think wisely about using gambling as entertainment. They know that they only need to use enough money to gamble so that they don't experience any problems from gambling. They will not want to risk losing even more money because they know that many people have already lost a lot of money, so they keep trying to prevent it.
