Gambling addiction starts from the day you start gambling because without starting to gamble there will be no win because the mindset has always be to win and not to play for fun, but you start chasing your losses if you don't win instantly….
I don’t quite understand where the idea of gambling “for fun” comes from if a person has never played gambling games. If you reduce everything to personal experience, then someone who has never gambled wouldn’t have any concept of gambling at all. But in reality, we know that’s not the case. In fact, most people who have never gambled already have a preconceived notion that gambling offers a chance to suddenly and significantly get rich. That’s exactly why most of them start gambling—not because it’s fun.
