Gambling addiction is process in which an individual cannot control their urge in gambling even when they tend to lose. They are willing to sacrifice their most valuable assets with the hope of winning. A story was told of a young man in my community who used his only son for gambling because he was so addicted that he can't do without gambling in a day. he can do anything when it comes to gambling. I also know people who are wealthy today through gambling. So, is it wrong to be too addicted to gambling? how can it be control or how can one manage gambling?
To answer your question, what is bad is to be addicted to anything, be it gambling or anything else. If a person has problems with gambling, then most likely he belongs to the group of people who should not gamble at all. A person loses control over the situation and over time this can lead to very bad consequences.
Regarding people who got rich thanks to gambling, it is worth noting that there are many more people who lost their money, so this coin has two sides. Considering the few people who have become rich, it is always worth remembering other people who became bankrupt due to gambling addiction
