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?
As far as we all know, none of the wealthy people on the planet didn't made his/ her fortune through gambling. So there are many ways to make a fortune and not just one and only as you imply, and for sure it isn't gambling. As for the gamblers who think this way (new or old), it's more than certain that they will suffer losses far greater than those who gamble for entertainment.
