I guess that's the popular craze in the town. Kidding aside, there are gamblers who are truly like that. They are not going to stop until they don't see themselves crying with nothing.
They will not listen to anybody until they are noticing that no one is going near to them because they don't listen and they don't have anything anymore because, they've lost their entire money in gambling.
This can happen because some people don't think long and hard when they do something they are influenced by a deep curiosity. In the end, they try to do it over and over again until they get involved in gambling irresponsibly. When addiction has penetrated a gambler's life, it will be much more difficult for them to be advised and they will never listen to the advice of other people, including their immediate family.
That's why we have to teach education about gambling to family, children and close relatives so that they know the impact of irresponsible gambling. Now it is so easy to recognize gambling because technology has developed so much, but we need to control it so that they are not involved further.
