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?
After knowing fully that gambling wins are not guaranteed, some persons don't even win at all within a year then why having such mentality of making money through gambling, or is it that their is a certain phenomenon attracting people to gambling that is difficult to understand aside from the entertainment aspect of gambling, because it's really funny to see most people nowadays gambling for money and not for the entertainment aspect even if we have little mindset of winning some day.
Obviously, there are other ways to make money, but there are people who see gambling as the way out since it does give you a chance to win a sizable amount of money, even if you only bet a small amount.
As for whether "there is a certain phenomenon attracting people to gamble", yes, there is, I mean, people are attracted to the chance of winning big, and there are people who are attracted to gambling due to adrenaline. If you want a more detailed explanation about it, there are studies on why people are attracted to gambling.
Even there are many ways to make money, but gambling offers an easier and more immediate path, allowing anybody to win large amounts with a small budget. In my opinion, this is what makes gambling so appealing. Besides that, the way gambling works, which relies heavily on luck, effectively fosters the hope of winning, so even if gamblers lose consistently, they will most likely come back to bet again.
On the other hand, gambling also offers a suitable place for people who tend to take risks, a place for people who want to relieve boredom, and also a place for people who like to gather together. Ultimately, even though people realize that the winning percentage in gambling is relatively low, I think these simple reasons also encourage them to continue gambling.
