Note this the amount of money lost or won doesn't determine when gambling becomes problematic. Because many people believe that when you loose a specific amount of money in gambling them gambling is then problematic to a person. And other consider gambling to be problematic when it only give a person a financial problems, no I don't think so. What I consider problematic is not only when gambling cause you financial problem, but if gambling is interfering with individual's relationships, job, mental or physical health or any area of their life then gambling is problematic. So what about you guys what do you think? You contributions matters.
It all depends on how much money the gambler makes. If someone makes a lot, then it won't be a problem for him to lose thousands of dollars. Such a guy will say "well, okay, I'll make that much in a week anyway" and won't get upset. But if a family man who only has a small salary and several children loses that much, then it will be the biggest disaster possible.
That is why I do not approve of gambling and betting in poor families, especially with children.
