It's not just lust, but also greed that makes them continue to gamble even though they have experienced a lot of losses, because maybe they still have thoughts of being able to win big. If it continues like that, I don't think there will be an end, unless they really... Really aware that gambling is just entertainment, which if done excessively can make them miserable and suffer. Maybe if I had a lot of money I would build a casino so I could make a profit.
Sometimes it's strange to me why rich people spend hundreds of thousands of dollars or millions of dollars just to have fun gambling and making money in it, even though they could have built an online casino starting from a small one so they could make a profit from the gambling they play, which is obviously more. make a lot of money from gambling, unless it's a poor gambler, there's no problem considering gambling as just entertainment, don't overdo it which will result in gambling addiction in the end. Most of the facts are that poor gamblers are more crazy about gambling than rich gamblers.
Not all gamblers can consider gambling as entertainment, in fact they consider this to be more than just entertainment like a place to make money or more than that, that's why poor gamblers always rely on the hope of getting rich quickly by gambling, they don't think that getting rich needs a process and most gamblers don't want to. going through the process of getting rich they just want to get rich quickly by gambling but in the end they end up getting addicted to gambling and spending more money on gambling makes them poorer.
Agree to that, seeing thus venue as a short cut to make money and to change their lifestyle, most of those addicted gamblers aimed to earned decently only to find themselves getting engaged and turned themselves to addicted gamblers, I see your point and it's one valid reason why we seen lots of those poor gamblers who are doing unusual stuff just to continue playing, things that can turned them to do illegal things or crimes that will allow them to have some money to continue gambling, they are no longer cared if what will be the after effect of such actions they just all care about pleasing their desires to gamble.
