Early exposure to it was because many of my uncles are into gambling, and I keep coming back mainly to cope with stress, and also hoping to win some bucks.
We may have one reason why we start to gamble, but when it comes to why we keep coming back, our reasons are changing. Sometimes, we do it to cope with stress, and sometimes, we do it to gain money, but whatever the reason, we should moderate it so we can come back anytime we want.
