Constantly gambling leads to addiction for addicted gamblers videos will not affect them. They will not believe that they are going to lose they will only be addicted to winning. He should have been warned in advance that he would feel pain when he saw the end. For those gamblers who are not addicted the video is good physically and mentally they will be prepared and alert to control themselves before becoming addicted will enjoy everything very easily.
They will believe for sure however, their actions would matter more . Same thing with other inspirational materials and contents; at that moment when it was watched, they'd be inspired but eventually, they still won't make a change. Lessons will just pass by and if it is change being desired, the gambler itself should have initiative to create those changes. As we all know, there are many ways to lessen your exposure in this activity; other things that could occupy time. The idea of going back to this industry in general, would mean that you are not that devoted of what you want to achieve. It is not easy in the first place which is why it is and should be understandable. Many addicted gamblers are hoping to make themselves better however, not all people are willing to make it happen.
I am quite sure that the guy is just making excuses when he says that he is gambling to make money for the hospital to save face. If someone needs money, he will not gamble it instead he will ask his friends for financial help to add to the money he is currently holding that time. Only a gambling addict will gamble the money that is allocated for hospital bills and say the reason that he does it is to increase his funds.
...
but maybe what is said is the truth because not everyone has friends they can ask for help when they need help with money or they feel too uncomfortable when they want to borrow money from their friends, so this leaves them with no choice but to gamble their money to be able to get more money.
but whatever it is, gambling to get money is something that is not recommended because when someone gambles to get money, it means that they are set in their mind that they must be able to win. when they can't win, they will keep trying, and at that point he will get caught up in gambling and become addicted.
Borrowing money could not be an option and it would be more valid to put an end with what you are losing and where you are in debt with. Acceptance will always set you free and that is also applicable with gambling. The only thing which pushes a gambler to bet more is personal assumption that gambling could give you the wealth you are dreaming of.
