Gambling is a lot easier to access now than before. So it is no surprise if more people find themselves gambling. Unfortunately, not a lot of us can be responsible enough to prevent ourselves from falling into deep addiction. This probes the question, who are the most vulnerable to falling into a gambling addiction?
People who are most vounarable to fall into addiction are those who sees gambling as an option to eradicate poverty or sees it as a way of becoming rich too quickly. I had quite some numbers of friends who becomes addicted because they could hardly find a suitable job to leave the life they expected. After so many years of going to school and graduating without work cause them to become addicted. Because after finding several job and couldn't see any one they accept gambling as a second choice. Now gambling has become a pert of them even leaving it becomes a problem. Now even if they get a good paying job now they will still spend all to gambling.
I can say joblessness and poverty is the most vounarable thing that Leeds to addiction.
I agree with you, if someone sees gambling as an option to eliminate poverty or as a way to get rich easily of course it will make them gamble too often and of course it will make them addicted to gambling.
When someone does not have any job and they choose to gamble of course this is very bad not to mention they will be addicted to gambling which makes them feel in many other problems after experiencing addiction.
If someone who already has a job still gambles, of course they will regret it when all their income is spent on gambling and they will experience financial problems again as if they had not yet found a job. If only they could control themselves when gambling, of course this would be better than someone who gambles too often and has high hopes of being able to get a big win that they may not be able to get from gambling.
