The reason why I'm not addicted to gambling is because even before I started to play gambling I already understand gambling and its addiction, and my understanding has helped me on how to follow up gambling. Sometimes I ask myself why do people get addicted to gambling, is it because they have no understanding or awareness about the addiction of gamble.
Sometimes I think that addiction is to be with the financial status of a gambler. If a gambler is rich and he does not care much about the money, he will usually play excessive gambling and sooner or later will become addicted to it. On the other hand, a person like me, will think twice about the risk involved in gambling and will try to gamble with limited money, so that the loss incurred is also low. That may be another reason why the poor gamblers remain poor because they do not take the risk (which is good to some extent) while rich gamblers may become richer if they win big or they become addicted to it (and also lose a lot of money).
You are right, a gambler's financial status is quite important in facing the risk of possible gambling addiction. I saw some of my old friends who were addicted to gambling. and most of them are those who have very good finances when they start gambling.
because they can spend quite a lot of capital to play, which makes them lose control of their finances. Financial conditions that are quite good can be quite bad for beginners in gambling. The impact will be different when gamblers with small capital play with much less intensity than those who have large capital.
