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.
I don't think it is a loss for a gambler when he loses some of his earned money in gambling for entertainment. He may have lost money there, but if we observe deeply, it is certainly not something that can create a big obstacle in his life. As long as the gambler gambles with his own money, he is safe. There are many gamblers who do not get annoyed with gambling even though they lose money regularly. Because they think that they are losing money there and in return they are getting fun. But for those who are disrupting their important work due to gambling, gambling is being identified as a big problem.

There are many gamblers who are breaking up with their families or are neglecting their own jobs or work. Those who are studying have dropped out of their studies. If something like this happens, then they are the only ones who are suffering. I think that those who manage gambling normally have no chance of having such a problem.
