How can two persons be so addicted to gambling that they'll go to such an extent?
They started slowly with not being able to control themselves with gambling away small amounts till it finished, it is why as they were exposed to such a large amount they became unable to control themselves.
If you can question this people and ask them how they gambled aways that kind of money without realising it or stopping themselves, they will say they did not know when. This is the height of addiction.
As individuals we should be careful entrusting money to people who we know have a gambling problem.
Start slowly or fast it wouldnt matter because if you are a type of person whose really that get easily impulsive when it comes to winning or losing but on the time that you would really be losing big time then this is where you would really be making yourself having those kind of reasoning and things in mind on which you would really be having those blaming into other people.
Actually this is something which is really that a very common gambler behavior but if you are someone whose really that easily make out those kind of recovery and moving on then
its good but if you are someone who doesnt really accept losses then you would really be ending up with this path. This is why its important that you should really be having control.
