So am just curious to know if these little games are the one's that got to him or already developed such habit and to know if possible that the practice will continue elsewhere after leaving there when he lost the money and to look for means through gambling to recover it.
I think he will still continue that habit outside. What he showed in that place was just a little of it maybe he is just calm because it was a game Involving old long time friends which he was controlling his attitude but I trust if he moved from that place he may be worst than that. You know different gamblers and their ways or should I call it attitude towards loses. Most people can be calm if they lose or win but some will be angry to the point that they may even pick up a fight with you. So it's a normal thing. Maybe it's just your first time of noticing it from him.
Yes, that's right because he will enjoy that games and involve with old friends will gives a happiness for them as they are not meets each other too often. That will gives them a way to enjoy their times together and playing the games but they must have self control to avoids spends time too long and too much money. Gamblers will not thinks about himself because he often playing gambling and that will needs to have self control. That's why he must learn about controlling himself when he playing gambling so he doesn't have to gets addicted to gambling. He also needs to have a good attitude to avoids any problems from gambling so he can enjoy his time to playing gambling. He needs to concern about this matter because many people already gets this problem.
