Yes, that's how we should treat gambling, or I mean gamble only for the purpose of having fun and also gamble when you have some money that you can really afford to lose in the sense of being able to be responsible for whatever the results are, on the other hand, yes you said something right that having an excessive interest in gambling can be a sign that someone is addicted, not everyone can realize that the increase in interest is a sign that they are trapped in a cycle of addiction which is the reason why gambling must really be done with a high level of awareness and always evaluate your approach and interest in gambling because often gamblers get caught in addiction without realizing it.
And this is right, because gambling should not be a hobby that takes up a lot of time per day. The fact is that the casino is great at causing addiction in any player with bonuses. And it's all about our human nature, we love achievements, we love adrenaline, success and the feeling that fortune loves us.
And all this is in the casino, as well as the knowledge that a huge win gives us a chance to change our lives. It is precisely because so much is concentrated in one place that the casino is such a dangerous trap for those who have a weak will.
Of course, I also think gambling should not be a hobby but an occasional choice when you really need entertainment in your boring free time, on the other hand, I can also agree with what you said that casinos are great at making gamblers addicted, they are really smart in convincing gamblers that they will be able to get a very big win if they stay there for a longer time with various scenarios that can increase the confidence and hope of gamblers.
So what actually makes gamblers persist even though they continue to experience a slump is because they are wrong in responding to what and how gambling really is, which misunderstanding creates new hopes and interests in winning in gambling so that they stay longer, but I believe that in the end regret will always be a certainty.
