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?
We already know that less privileged people are more prone to getting addicted to gambling with the involvement of financial reward. They are the ones chasing more wins because they actually need the money. The more money they get, the deeper they get into the addiction.
Who is most vulnerable? Of course everyone who gambles has the same chance of becoming addicted to gambling, both old and young can become addicted at any time when you or all of us lose control. So the key to minimizing gambling addiction is to try to stay rational, control yourself, and disciplined management in gambling.
Yes, the possibility of addiction applies to everyone regardless of who they are, old or young, poor or rich, everyone has the opportunity to end up becoming an addict, and in the end the point is not much different from what you said that if we don't want to end up addicted then gamble wisely in the sense of gambling with full limits on time and the amount of money at stake.
Therefore, this is the reason why I often say and advise anyone, especially those closest to me, to first understand what they are actually facing, the way is to rely on a rational mindset in responding to gambling so that you do not misunderstand what is meant by the chance of winning in gambling, and if you have done everything well and correctly then I think you should be free from addiction.
