I agree with you, whatever the outcome of the gambling we do, it can trigger us to continue gambling whether in one gambling session or continuously. the point is that everyone is easily influenced by gambling which can make them addicted to gambling, so you can be sure that someone who is just gambling for the first time is likely to become addicted to gambling regardless of the results of the gambling they do, because of the temptation of winning and multiplying their money. can be found, it is likely that they will think after gambling.

It's true what you said, if they have clear thinking, maybe they won't be easily influenced and won't easily get caught up in gambling, but in my opinion, restraining yourself is the same as self-control. So if they have good self-control then when they gamble they won't care about the results, but what is clear is that they won't be addicted to gambling again. and in my opinion people who have good self-control will definitely not think about gambling too hard, I mean they will not think about gambling first because there are still many things that can be done besides gambling which are more useful and important too and as you said they will bet enough so as not to lose too much.

That is why we have to be careful when playing gambling so that we don't use more money to gamble, especially since there is no certainty that we can win from gambling games. We should really take care of ourselves while gambling so that we won't be tempted by anything we see when we've finished gambling and won't want to try it straight away. We will also not be influenced to try to continue gambling because we know that this is just a temptation that many gamblers often face.

If we can think clearly, we can use gambling well and consider it entertainment. We will also learn to restrain ourselves and try to control ourselves so that we don't fall into gambling because that will only make us addicted to gambling. Once we experience a gambling addiction, it will be difficult for us to cure it, and there is a possibility that we will gamble more often without having clear boundaries in gambling. That is why we have to learn good self-control so that we can treat gambling as an activity like any other activity. And because when gambling, we use money, we will allocate a certain amount of money for gambling and will not interfere with the allocation of money for other daily needs.

All three things you've mentioned, using savings, selling goods, and taking loans, are not supposed to be done by any gambler because these things will get you stuck in more problems apart from the gambling addiction that you might have.

It takes a lifetime for a person to have some savings so that they can use them when there is either an emergency or if they need to do something extremely important in their life. So, using savings for gambling should never be an option.

Talking about goods that one may sell to get funds for gambling, it depends on the property being sold, if it's something very important and expensive, never do it, I wouldn't even recommend selling cheap and unimportant properties but that isn't that big of a problem.

Finally, taking loans or borrowing money for gambling, it's a different matter that can escalate to a bigger problem if the loans aren't repaid on time and when you lose the money in gambling, you won't be able to repay the loan.

That is why we have to be careful when gambling because there is a temptation for us to use more money so that it can use up the savings we have. Moreover, there are many real examples of people who ended up losing all their money because they gambled too often without thinking about limiting their gambling activities. This makes us aware that gambling must be used in moderation, and there is no need to use more money so that we can still have money for other things. We won't be able to buy things that we have bought and then sold just to gamble because maybe the price of the goods has gone up so much that if we want to buy them, we need more money, and we don't have any more money.

Especially if we sell property such as land or gold that has been our savings all this time and we sell it to fulfil our ego in gambling. It's really not worth it for us to do because land or gold is an investment that we are preparing for our future and that of our family. We will not be able to have a better future if we sell the things we own just because we want to win from gambling. It's better if we really limit our gambling activities so we can look after our finances well.
