It is possible that people around him will warn him not to gamble excessively, but it is not once or twice that I have warned my addicted brother to reduce his gambling activities, but the advice I gave him only went in through the right ear and out the left ear, so he clearly ignored the advice, even the advice from his parents was equally ignored, if they really want to stop, I think the key is in themselves, they must be aware of themselves and have the pressure to recover, because if they are aware of themselves, they don't need help or encouragement from other people, they can do it.
Actually, I think there will be no accurate strategy that can make the chances of winning bigger, however the bookie will have a bigger chance of winning and it seems like this cannot be changed.
That is a normal thing that someone will do when he get the suggestion from other because he will feel that he is in the okay condition and nothing to worry with him. But the fact that other people can see that something wrong happen to him so they are suggest to that person because they don't want to see something terrible happen to him. The awareness from those peole will be needed because they do that every day and no control with the duration of playing gambling.
It is difficult to have accurate strategy although we can say that we can make many strategies. But still there is no guarantee of high percentage that our strategies will be works good. We can only use one by one of the strategies while we also hope that we can win on that. But we really don't know if that strategy will win.
