In my opinion, both sports betting and slots are equally addictive. In slots, you are looking for a strategy on how to hit the jackpot by manipulating the bet or going through the slots, and in sports events, it is a search for insider information about the match you want to bet on, plus dealing with team scales, player injuries, and so on. In both cases, you need to have a sober head so as not to turn the game into an addiction.
It is true that these two types of gambling can make someone addicted if they play too often in the hope of getting a big win on the bet they place and we also have to continue to analyze the match history of the team we choose to place a bet on and also the opponents we will face, because if we are wrong in analyzing the match history of the team we are betting on, of course there will be very little chance of winning the bet, yes of course we have to be able to control ourselves so we don't get addicted to betting every day .
Gambling everyday should not be the reason for an addiction, an addicted gambler should be seen as someone who already has a misplaced priority, whatever thing he does will always be contradicting because he has not been able to manage up himself successfully, so the way he also gambles will not be as well coordinated as expected, gambling every day is like making fun every day, which i see nothing bad in doing, only if we can regulate the way and pattern of doing it, gamble responsibly and maintain our integrity.
Same thinking. Gambling every day might not inherently lead to addiction.
Addiction is often less about the frequency of the activity and more about the underlying reasons for engaging in it and the consequences it brings. If gambling every day interferes with someone's ability to manage personal responsibilities, finances, or relationships, it might indicate a problem regardless of the individual's intentions.
Responsible gambling is key as you mention.
Gambling every day must have negative consequences. People who gamble daily consider as addicted gamblers. And an addicted gambler can never take a break from gambling. If a gambler thinks that he only gambles regularly after his work every day and it is only to pass his free time then that can be accepted. But I am sure people who don't take gambling as a source of income will never gamble daily. Just as daily gambling is an addictive activity that can destroy financially, it also increases the human stress on a gambler. Therefore, whether a gambler is addicted or not, he should not gamble every day.
If it is added to their everyday activities, then surely they are not only addicted to it but it seems like they made it a part of their life just like the cock fighters who even love their fighting roosters even more than their children. This only happens if a person is involved in gambling while he is with his friends because they influence him a lot in whatever he is doing. that's why you need to be careful with whoever you want to accompany because you might not want to be like them but being with them is like are saying you going to swim in the ocean but you are not gonna get wet. eventually, you will also become addicted like them and do the same things they're doing.
I completely agree with your point.It indeed comes down to awareness and personal resilience. A person who is psychologically stable and morally grounded is likely to choose companions who reflect their own positive values and behaviors. Conversely, someone who hasn't developed a strong sense of self or who not struggles to assert their personal beliefs may find themselves more susceptible to the influence of their peers.
