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.
