Many gamblers don't know they're addicted. They'll gamble all their money & lose but they'll deny they're addicted. If they've got strong family who'll tell them to stop gambling there's a chance they'll stop. If they don't stop they'll gamble the house & car.
If ppl don't control themself they're going to become addicted. It's sad because ppl who're controlling themself can become addicted but don't know it. I'll advise ppl to find excitement doing other things because gambling isn't good.
Facts, there are people that think that they are in control but whereas they are in denial of their gambling addiction but fail to realize it until it's too late. It usually starts with a single bet, after that perhaps the gambler might have a lucky win and from there they might be going back to it slowly but claim that they are not addicted until it becomes something that they cannot deny, no one is above this
