Gambling is supposed to be a game of fun but unfortunately a lot of persons take it to be a source of finance which is logically wrong. Yes gambling arguably can be tempting to be a source of income especially when you tend to make multiple wins consecutively which could make one feel the need to take more days off work since you have become richer at an easier pace. The core reason people should not take gambling as a financial source is because people tend to be very serious when it comes to their finance which of course us their main income source.
Now if gambling becomes a source of income you will tend to gamble more so logically you could win more and most of the time this could end badly and even lead to a nasty addiction in some cases.
I'd take it if that's the case. But the problem is not addiction to winning, it's losing most of the time. We chase our losses or it's like we are being played by a back-and-forth type of gameplay where we win and then we lose again, so the expectation is reaching a point where we think we could win because it was shown to us.
I have not experienced a time where a winning streak happens every day and I don't I will. I mean that is impossible. So, I don't think addiction comes from making profits in gambling but more like the experience of winning but losing it again and then wanting to win it back so we will feel the same joy again that we win against the house.
It's more like a type of addiction of revenge, that's what I think. We want our money back so badly that we will play every day to try and it win it back even though it will cost us time, energy, and money.
If I win in gambling, that means I get to enjoy the profits, but that's not the usual case. Either you get greedy for that extra dollar or you are chasing the losses and because of that you cannot get out and feel the profits of the risk you took.
