A person who lacks self-control when it comes to gambling, he will definitely become deeply addicted to gambling and may face many terrible losses. The most effective way to protect yourself from gambling addiction is self-control and mental strength. Those who lack self-discipline will easily lose control while gambling, and at some point, they will make their own life as well as their family's life miserable.

Addiction is so terrible that it not only damages a gambler financially but can also completely destroy him mentally, it is not easy to get out of this cycle, especially if there is no self-discipline. If everything is under control while gambling, it will definitely not lead you to any negative situation, but as soon as it becomes uncontrolled, you will continue to be deeply addicted to gambling, and then it is no longer easy to control yourself.

So we should be aware in advance, maintain self-control and adhere to financial limitations well. If you gamble with the right attitude, it will never cause disaster, but when your mindset is towards making money from gambling, it will undoubtedly bring disaster for you.

Many countries have officially recognized that gambling addiction is a disease, and that people who suffer from it need treatment. A person who gambles solely to make money is either a professional gambler who is an expert in self-control, discipline, and strategy, or a gambling addict who lacks both self-control and financial restraint. Therefore, if a person realizes that they are gambling solely to earn money, they urgently need to stop and analyze their actions. It may not be too late to change their views on gambling. Otherwise, they will most likely face nothing but problems.

That's right there is not really a middle ground between those two. Usually it is someone who is doing it professionally or someone who is addicted. Those that are not addicted have learned or already knew that gambling is meant to be a limited entertainment. It is unfortunate that access to gambling is so easy because it has hurt so many people a lot. We usually shift the blame to the people who engage in gambling, but not everyone is smart enough to know the real risk of something. Even if you explain it to them they still won't understand what it means and what is the implication for them.
