Yup I agree with this one and it means the biggest mistake of gamblers is when they use gambling as a medium to overcome problems they are having outside of entertainment such as financial problems, most of the gamblers who are now experiencing the bad impacts are those who come by prioritizing money as the main goal and I think the reason is clear that behind the scenes they are having problems with their finances such as those who have low incomes or those who are in debt for example, so I quite agree with your opinion that the majority of problem gamblers are those who associate gambling with their personal financial problems.
oh, this is the worst situation
same with drugs and sometimes even other everyday things like food or sex.
Prioritizing money for a while may be ok but remember that when you make enough (and this is a different number for each person) you have to simply say "that's enough" and to stop playing and to find a work that gives you meaning and happinness and decide what to do with your time and energy here in this planet.
Yup that's right, and that's the reason why many people often say that a gambler must have the ability to stop at the right time in any situation, such as when they win, they should think and assume that the session is over, the amount of winnings is enough, or what I mean is we must really be able to see everything realistically, and when you lose (in losing the amount you can afford to lose) you must also have that kind of thinking, for example "this is enough, I'm not lucky this time". At first glance it is complicated, but that's how the approach to gambling should be if you really want to survive in the long term or what I mean is avoid various bad impacts, that's also the reason why many people suggest being careful in treating gambling, the point is never to make money a priority in gambling, that's clearly dangerous.
