Gamblers are the main source of every gambling problems they face or cause for themselves to go through, I have said it before that any individual that knows that they can be easily addicted to gambling, they should stay away from it to avoid future problems. It's no joke that some people so vulnerable to addiction and once they just step into the gambling process, they don't take long and they are already addicted. Once you notice the kind of person you are and you know you can't hold back your emotions towards gambling and losses, then stay away, that's also a solution.
The environment can also have an influence, if a person sees that he easily succumbs to various kinds of addictions, then he should choose his environment very carefully. Because even if he wants to quit gambling, but the people he is with will tell how they play and even win (this may not even be true), then this will push him to make another bet. And sometimes it is very difficult to recognize an addiction, a person tells himself that he can stop whenever he wants, but is this true.
