some said that it’s because the philippines is a poor country and that’s why they get addicted easily but is it possible that most gamblers who got addicted are old people past retirement and have nothing else to do anymore?
I don't think that old people are attached to gambling and have the hope of making a fortune from gambling. Only the young ones do have such mindset, because they don't understand what gambling is for and they are looking for a short cut to riches. Age people already understand the purpose of gambling from experience because they have been gambling since their youthful age. They only gamble for fun. Check how many people have committed suicide due to heavy loss or check out the age of addicted gamblers around you. None of them
