On this board, we are always referring addiction as a terrible thing but does it mean that those addicted gamblers doesn't win money, are they only bounded to losses upon losses?
Yes and you cannot just hide the facts. Those people who shares their stories are probably already gone through the same problems which the thread wants to discussed and since they want to help, then they are sharing their lessons so that other people will learn from. It could be their experience on how to deal with their family, having conflicts with others, fixed gaming and more.
Gamblers won. They do. The problem is they lose more money that they win. Causing the, to have frustration then they will bet more even they are losing until they gone bankrupt.
