We read a lot about gamblers who are very aware of the risks of losing, and because of that awareness, they’re already willing to lose even before they start gambling. What happens is, they become more loss-oriented (to stay in control) instead of win-oriented.
So for you guys -- do we still consider them real gamblers?
Or are they just here doing some kind of experiment?
As we are today, whatever we think of, become or want to continue riding on in our lives is on us to control. Is it not what we get our mind to that's what our brain will try to process, bringing positive or negative attributes to it?
If our mind processes gambling to be for entertainment purposes, our brain will take it that way. If our mind thinks of gambling as a way to make money, our brain will also process it that way, for us to end up being addicted.
What I trying to say is that when someone is addicted to gambling, it is in their hands to continue to let it be or put a stop to it from controlling them. However, the inputs we put towards our gambling lifestyle are the same output we tend to receive. If we gamble less, we become less addicted to gambling. But if we gamble consistently, then we become an addicted gambler
