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?
Actually, they also win it.
But the problem is this:
1. Their losses must have been far greater than the wins they achieved
2. If they win, they will use the money again for gambling, why? because they want to win again in the next round. And what happened?
They failed and failed again. In the end, their money was lost again.
3. They will maintain loss control and will be addicted to gambling again with very high hopes of winning.
4. Many of them end up fantasizing or having very high hopes that one day they will be able to return the capital from the money they have spent so far by getting the jackpot. but that day never came.
And this cycle continues to happen to addicted gamblers, but they don't succeed in getting rid of it, until something bad actually happens to them. It really terrifies me when I see someone who is addicted to gambling and can't get away from it at all.
