Funny enough this is virtually the taught that actually draw almost all active gamblers to gambling especially if you are in the area where gambling is seen as a common thing. It's a sad truth but it is what it is and even with all the advice in the whole world, I can bet that this taught can't be changed in the mentality of a very large population.
Because some win with small bets, those who want to recover their finances take the path of gambling with the remaining money. Unfortunately, they do not know how much money has been bet before someone gets their luck.
However, there is a temptation of money that can be obtained instantly from gambling. But not everyone will be lucky enough to win it. We know, more cases are losses.
