The problem most gamblers have with gambling is that they go in with the wrong intention, and by the time they have gone far with gambling, they find it difficult to retrace their wrong steps. Especially when they have already made a good amount of money, they feel it is all about the amount of money put into gambling or the number of times they play, and at this point, greed has developed. It is very important for gamblers to be observant of their gambling habits and have a better understanding, as it will help reduce the risk of losing money.
Most individuals don't care about the money they're losing and only concerned about the money they can make and this is what's making them to be gambling without control. These gamblers are a risk to others because they can have an impact on how they start gambling too. The solution to gambling isn't banning it but educating people about some things that people are yet to understand. People don't understand how harmful gambling addiction can be to someone because it changes them completely and make them a shadow of how they use to be. As you're gambling, there are certain things that's almost a guarantee to happen and that's you losing. You'll have to accept this to get your emotions under control.
The problem with a lot of gamblers is the fact that they mostly get caught up in the potential gains of gambling without also fully considering the potential risks involved, it's more like they're just chasing the highs without also thinking about the falls and crash. Yeah, it can be kinda contagious having to influence others to take risks that they're not really ready for. It's important to first educate people on the potential risks involved so they can really understand the consequences of gambling addiction, this way they'll be a lot more cautious with their decisions. It's really not about banning it but more about being aware of what you're getting into.
