There is a point in your words, but in the current context, students are the most addicted to gambling. First of all, they try to increase their spending money received from their parents by gambling because the level of drug use has increased in the present time and money is needed for that and no parent will ever give money to their child to use drugs. Then they choose a path like gambling to make more money from small amounts of money. After winning a few times, they become more addicted because they think that from now on they can easily increase their money. These thoughts come to them automatically because they are minors.
And students are always looking for ways to get extra cash, and there is no other person who needs money more than students, because as a student, there are always things to spend money on, and it is never enough when i was in school back then he was sent is monthly allowance and he used everything to gamble and the process he lost everything that was one hell of a week for him and since then i don't think he will make that mistake gambling everything because he never consider the risk, so sometimes circumstances will make people learn as a student that is gambling managing risk very important because the risk of gambling everything is just to much to risk.
One of those factors that affects the decision making of such student, thinking that gambling is a quick way to earn money, just place your bet and wait for the outcome, at first they'll be able to expeirenced to win then that particular experienced will put them to a certain situation where they will keep on trying to win more, ending up with losing everything back and move them to desire more on that sequence possible addiction may takeover and dominate inside a student's mind.
