That's a case that has happened a lot, that's what I know. Many people experience problems in life because they gamble excessively or beyond their own limits, including the funds used for gambling that are not reasonable, such as risking all their savings or selling property they own to be able to make money by gambling. , that is a very silly thought, because gambling will not give you victory easily. As far as I know, winning at gambling is based on your own luck.
It is clear that self-control is important when gambling because of the many cases that have occurred due to the impact of bad gambling. as you said, if gambling is done without self-control then they will only lose more money As much as possible, we must be able to control our emotions because that can help us to avoid losses that have occurred in many cases that have occurred.

It is true that cases like this often occur in the life of an addict. By pursuing victory, he dared to take big risks by betting without proper rules. An addict will spend all his money and sell his possessions to be able to gamble.
An addict has a weak conscience so he will do bad things that harm himself in the future by gambling with inappropriate money so that he will feel how stupid he is when it is all over and he has nothing left.

In fact, it is not a problem to take risky actions because there are those who say that if we want to get satisfying results, we have to be brave enough to take risks. but we have to be able to see first what we are doing, if it is certain that it will end in disappointment then it is best not to take risky actions. including gambling, because gambling is likely to result in a disappointing defeat. and we have to be able to accept that, don't let the losses that occur through gambling become a thought because that will trigger emotions that can make us lose control of ourselves by gambling.
when the gambling they do is excessive then it is clear that there is a possibility that they will do something that is indeed a big risk as you said, namely selling the property they own because they still want to gamble but have run out of capital so they sell the property they own and use the money to gambling again, in my opinion it is an act that has gone too far.

Life involves risk. It's what pumps blood, right? Risk isn't one-size-fits-all. Gambling? That's risky, like jumping out of a plane with a broken parachute. Ensure you understand the repercussions. Yes, it's about seeing the larger picture and knowing when a gamble will fail

But it's not about demonizing gambling. It's about that unchecked urge, that voice that keeps pushing when it should fold. Selling everything to win? This is self-destruction, not risk-taking. The problem isn't gambling, but a mindset that won't let go and change techniques
