I think we all have some experience where we gamble more frequently at some point in our lives. I guess it's safe to say, that is the point where we can consider we got addicted to gambling. Luckily, we were able to overcome it as we are able to minimize our gambling urges now as we grow old having a lot of financial responsibilities.
That is the kind of gambling addiction that are within our control.
Not everyone was able to overcome that stage in one piece, some gamblers didn't quit or minimize their rate of gambling probably because they think they've gone too far to give up now, but in reality not giving up will only make you end up in more loses than you already have acquired but not everyone is wise enough to understand this. The system was programmed to favour us and the better we learn this the best for us, because I see so many people putting their hopes in gamble to change their lives, well from my perspective any win we make it's by mistake or let's just call it luck, the casino might claim their system is probably fair but that's never true because their true intention is to reap us off those bank roll.
