They are different between soldiers who civilians who gambles with job, soldiers has already secured employment opportunity and they can control to be addicted in gambling than someone who is not working.
Most of the people who is addicted in the gambling, they're addicted in gambling because they seems gambling as a means of getting money and even though they lose today in the gambling they will still hope that they're going to win in next day, many things is involved on it. So soldiers can easily control themselves in gambling because their salaries is accountable to their family, why someone who has no job is interested to win to make money
I have to be agreed with partially because usually addiction mean greediness or chase for loses which always encourage peoples, but those are having jobs and stable things around them never run for these chances are high for them to stay calm and wait for right time.
Peoples those are having no stability things always keeps them on addiction because their thoughts always divert them for increase of profit through gambling which is never been ideal situation peoples those can control their emotions always have better mindset, and they can fight against this addiction.
Army peoples are had strong mentality and stable life just because of these chances are not high for them to have addiction but still its big gamble having slots machines in army areas.
