The most common type of gambling addiction is the one with greediness. That is why the addicted person will be losing huge amount of money to the extent they may not have money again but start to borrow.
But addiction can also be that the gambler is not really wasting money on gambling but gambling is really taking his time. But this type of addiction is mostly not possible.
Most addicted gamblers are greedy.
I think we have to accept the reality that once we try gambling, it is possible to fall into these situations. And the best thing we can do is to control ourselves as much as possible. Yes, maybe for now we are good but we are not sure if we can keep it like this or if it change it along the way as we continue gambling.
Overall, it really depends on how we discipline ourselves in gambling because no benefits to get if we have these things addiction and greediness as it brings us down financially and pollutes our minds.
