Environmental factors were the biggest influence on why I started gambling. The wins I'd seen around me fueled my curiosity, fueling my delusions about whether I'd experience the same luck. In reality, after gambling, I lost more often than I won, reminding me that gambling isn't a place to make a profit.
What I don't fully understand is that there's always a reason to return to gambling, including some of my losses, which have led me back to it, hoping for a big win to recoup my losses. But I believe this is impossible. I'm currently trying to avoid frequent gambling establishments to avoid addiction and even greater losses.
