That's true, but your words are shattered by all the facts that someone wins insane jackpots in gambling.
A lot of people think that it is the lucky ones who are chosen by luck, and you will not be able to convince them in any way. It is our human nature that we always think that we are special. And all around it are simpletons and losers. That's why the casino still exists.
It seems to say: "You are the one who will be lucky, because you are so smart and quick-witted. Everyone is stupid, but not you. Play it!"
It's true about the thoughts of accepting within us that we won't end up like those who failed. Such thoughts makes no difference if the person is not prepared to succeed. Players come into the game with no information and think they'll succeed. That's why even when they get addicted the player wouldn't consider it addiction. He'd be gambling because initially he's never thought of himself going to be a victim of compulsive gambling. By concluding that their lucky day is the present time, players always don't build a resting time for their gambling activities. I could remember making a prediction and didn't wager on it, and the game happened the way I predicted it. Most players also get hooked to this, and may not miss out on gambling on any game.
We procrastinate most times failing to do whatever we say we are to do and i wont want to justify the fact because i am someone that has been in that situation. However, everything still end up to be discipline. When we make decisions and resolution it is in our power to do them no matter the circumstance but without discipline there is no way we can be able to do them . I will blame anyone that has said to quit gambling when they want to but failed to do so.
