many gambling addicts have lost their minds because their desire to continue gambling overpowers their common sense, hence the importance of "gambling responsibly"

Usually a gambler who is initially overconfident will play several large bets because he is very sure that he will win those bets. And when they lose, greed will envelope them and make them continue to increase their bets to make up for their previous losses. That's what makes someone addicted to gambling. And it would be bad behavior if you don't have the money to make a deposit. It all started due to being too confident and greedy. Therefore, being a responsible gambler is something that every gambler must have. And that requires support from friends who also gamble. Therefore, it is very important to know the nature of your fellow gamblers.
This type of person does not learn how to gamble, follows instinct and considers it a benchmark for winning a bet, which in essence there is no guarantee of winning. Principles like that very quickly make a person bankrupt and depressed, because in his mind he can win and return the money he has lost in betting. This sense of self-confidence is misplaced, and it is difficult to bring awareness to people who hold such principles.
You make a very valid point mate and I couldn't agree with you more. People who consider gambling to be a way to make money, rather than an enjoyable form of entertainment and recreation are already walking the pathway of failure and bankruptcy. The funny thing about these set of gamblers is that most of them fail to come to the realization that the odds are always stacked against the players and the casino always have an added advantage because gambling was basically designed to always favor the casino more than the gamblers so out of a 100%, the gambler only has about 5 to 10% chances of winning which makes the odds against the players.

So it would be really unwise to start chasing winnings and losses even after knowing that your chances of winning are very slim. While it's possible to win occasionally, it's not a reliable way to make money or multiply your fortune.
