People who do not put feelings into sports betting or other gambling know very well that they will not win in the long run. So, getting their hopes up that they will play and make a profit is a serious mistake that they should not make. And you don't have to be a genius, anyone can start playing today and play for a month, then look at the profits vs. losses and you will realize that it is impossible to make a profit in the world of gambling while the person is playing. Now, when a person starts to become addicted to gambling and puts feelings into it, they start to play with the illusion that they will make a profit. When they lose, they think that the next day they will be luckier and will be able to win. The next day comes and they lose again and they keep playing until they lose everything.
Hearing the news that some people committed suicide and crimes can also prove that my statement is right. Maybe I'm wrong, but what I've seen is enough to say that gamblers are here for money, not for fun.
I also wanted to hear opinions from others.
Gamblers can lie about what are their motives or intentions to play but their actions betray them they may say that they are playing for fun but if you check their face and their action they are gearing to make money, this is one of the reasons why some gamblers fall into addiction they are not being honest, by being honest with themselves they can address what's wrong with how they play.
We have to always reflect on how we play if we want to be safe from gambling.
Many people prefer to hide the fact that they gamble, because that way they can gamble without other people asking them things like if they are winning, why they are gambling, addiction. So people prefer to hide the fact that they gamble and when they are addicted they are only helped when they are seriously addicted, this is because it is difficult for a person addicted to gambling to admit that they are addicted.
