Maybe many people play it for fun but eventually gambling will turn into an addiction and you will become a gambler with that addiction. When you win repeatedly at gambling, you may accept it as a source of real money but you may forget that you were lucky enough to win repeatedly. For people like me who gamble mostly on football matches, it's good to take a few weeks off and get away from gambling. But i always gamble in my free time.
Those who are addicted actually also start from the desire to relieve stress and also consider it as entertainment, but when they get involved deeper and actually see gambling as the main source of income then it will be difficult for them to leave it, I personally see some friends have been involved quite far in gambling but when I ask if they are happy and entertained, precisely they say they are getting more stressed with the losses, but somehow it seems like they can't just leave gambling like alcohol addiction, regardless of our initial intentions in gambling but I think when we can't control our activities, of course, that it becomes a bad habit that eventually destroys us.
