Oh, yeah! This illusion of control has ruined many lives. Including mine. Many years ago, I thought that everyone around me was a fool and that I was the only one who knew what I was doing. That I could go to a casino and win a lot of money. That I would soon become rich, but it was not to be. After some time, gambling showed me the other side of the coin. It took all the money out of my pocket and also forced me to accumulate a huge amount of debt. How wrong I was then.
And people still tend to make such mistakes. It is difficult to even imagine the consequences when this happens to a person who thinks exactly the same way as he did in his time.
Those who has fallen on the trap of gambling whether they are still not lost good amount of money or they lost a lots of money but yet they may not learned the leason as they are not in a good mood. They would be able to understand when they will think considering him/her out of gambling otherwise it is not possible.
