Have a strong will power and you won't have any problem as a gambler. Well, someone with strong will power can control his/her emotions and is less likely to get impacted by addiction. We must keep in mind that gambling is for fun, it's not and can't be a steady source of income. Those who gamble should understand this thing that gambling responsibility is the best tool one may have to be free from all troubles that arise from gambling addiction.
A strong will power takes discipline and not everyone has this mentality... The mistake most gamblers make is trying to make it a source of income but I'm reality this is something that cannot happen...To be free of gambling addiction it must start as a decision in your mind and you must put in effort to quit... gambling should be for entertainment purposes alone, if this can't be your mindset it would be a problem
