Yes, addicts are compared to blind and dumb people and they fail to consider themselves well, besides being a burden to their families and society. There are a number of people in society who waste their money to become richer and gamble. Gambling is a form of entertainment that has been around for many years. Initially, it was a way to get entertainment, later it developed into a way to earn money, but a gambler should be strategic about his gambling.
I personally smoke in moderation because I know that if I do more, there may be more financial loss and physical harm. I control myself for my family and reduce monthly cost. Gambling should be completely at your own responsibility and by setting boundaries based on your ability so that it does not go to the stage of addiction.
Gambling is compared to dumping people because they are in shit but still always consider themselves a smart person in decision-making.
Yes, gambling developed as a form of entertainment but only entertainment because it also comes with benefits. That's gambling was developed as a form of entertainment that comes with benefits which is not guaranteed.
Gambling at own responsibility/risk, and setting boundaries but later ignoring them is the reason why we have people who are gambling addicts but literally see gambling as a scam, or lack game knowledge.
You are right about the mind of gambling-addicted people being blind which is what makes them please their lust. I can remember when I was a drinking and smoking addict. My mind is blind from seeing the side effects of what I am doing while it is open to the special feelings that come with the intoxication but I never blame someone for it and I can say that's what helped me.
Because of this, I said that gamblers who blame others for their addiction are irresponsible and will have a difficult time recovering.
People who are addicted to gambling can be said to be those who are indeed blinded by the victory in gambling which is actually not something they can get easily.
Maybe some gamblers who are addicted are blind by the game victory but 95% of gambling addicts people are actually blind by the game buzz.
People like this usually cannot accept the defeat that will and may have happened to them and this is what can make them conclude that gambling is a fraud when they have gambled in a casino that previously said that they would definitely withdraw their winnings in the casino.
Saying gambling is a fraud or blaming others for the defeat of the gambling that is done is an irresponsible behavior, not a right thing with both of these things.
Any gambling that doesn't accept defeat is naive about the game concept. However, what you said is vice-versa. We have gambling platforms that are shady and user can report for their shady services while also considering gambling to be a scam. We talk about the situation just like we see in the Bitcoin market where newbies invest without knowledge and lose all their funds but tag BTC as a scam whereas they dig their own graves due to lack of knowledge.

Will have that difficulty as they can't accept the truth that it was their actions that brings them to that situation, though once they realize and accept it, help can come around and back them up, gambling is a form of a risky activities if you failed to control then you are not by far to experienced addiction, it's always good to treat it as form of entertainment since you'll not going to hook yourself that much and if ever that you lose you can move forward and let the amount go, treating it as payment for having the enjoyment that you gain while playing.
Agreed. Systematically, every gambling addict individual who accepts the truth about the role they played that led to their addiction has helped him/herself with the first needed step which is acknowledging that they are doing themselves some harm and they need help.
