Yeah, I wouldn't mix up my work and my hobbies. Each needs concentration, whereas doing both would break it.

It's an increasing trouble and players neglect the need to stay responsible. Most players lose productivity in their work place. Because they're gambling at work. That's addiction in a high level. However, if a player decides to make such mistake, he's risking his job opportunity. Gambling is not meant to be misused. It's meant for relaxation after work, not during work.

But I think there are some basic reasons for all of that, those who gamble at work are just entertaining themselves to relieve fatigue after finishing their work which may be draining or mentally draining.
We should be able to think and respond positively to things like this because not all of those who gamble are addicts and of course there are still some who can be responsible and gamble wisely even though the percentage is still very small.

Back to the topic, I want to tell you little interesting thing that I saw directly few days ago.
There were two friends with different backgrounds from rich family and simple family and finances, they watched match in the 2024 Paris Olympics and both made an agreement to bet.
In volleyball final, he who came from simple family spent all his money to bet but my friend who came from rich family and had lot of money refused and preferred to bet smaller amount.
He said that risking large amounts of money for betting is stupidity, from here I think that whether it is rich or poor people, they have different mindsets and different courage in taking risks, rich people do not necessarily dare to take big risks and poor people do not necessarily fear taking the risk of losing money.
