We keep talking about gambling addiction and how bad it is to become addicted, does it mean that addicted gamblers lose money all the time? Do you means those guys doesn't win anything at all? Can they not be lucky to win jackpots?

No, it doesn't mean they lose all the time. But it's not the point, because regardless of they win or lose, an addicted gambler will still continue what they used to since it's already hard to stop. So it's not about winning or losing, because they're just like a normal gambler. The difference is, they're already out of control so they lose more for not having contentment and can play long hours to feed their addiction.

The sad reality is that winning is not important for them but instead, to keep their addiction as long as they can still perform.
Yes, they win today and even tomorrow but suffer losses in the following days. But it was not a big deal for them because what makes them more happy is to stay gambling.

Of course, I won't say all gamblers have that kind of mindset and gambling habits. There are just some and we know the ending story if we become a irresponsible gambler, winning won't and never give us satisfaction.

Absolutely the right opinion. Psychologists say that avid problem gamblers don't worry about winning, they only want to get emotions. Namely, the emotions of anticipation that now all business will be put on pause, and the casino, or slots, or any other gambling games will be launched. It is anticipation that ludoman is chasing.
Money is so devalued for him that they are a way to play on. And this is a terrible endless cycle that can only be stopped by treatment and acceptance that the gambler is addicted.
