A lot of new gamblers sees it as a do or die affair if they don't win their games and that is why they turn out to be more addicted in gambling because they keep on chasing their losses and ends up becoming a liability/ burden to their families, now the question is must you gamble to make money?
Are there no other means to make money or become wealthy except through gambling?
I mean, who even told them that gambling is a way to get exceptionally wealthy? How did that mindset grow so popular and strong in some local communities that they all get so drunk in addiction, that the governments have to place bans and limitations to it? It's like 0.9999 - ish and you're not even going to get a chance out of millions of turnovers!
It always depends on the society a person lives in. Young people who do not have a permanent job and education are very often deceived into believing that by gambling, they can easily and without unnecessary movements earn money. Where does this idea come from? From society.
That's why teenagers should also have a focused ability to make decisions on whether to follow the right path or not... Fools grow old too, and I can imagine getting an advice from one of them.
Do we still blame getting drunk in addiction on societal influence and peer pressure though? Cause, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me!!
