Many people enter gambling seeking quick wealth, but is the problem just money? What really holds us back is the illusion of control and the expectation of instant rewards, isn't it?

It depends on the gambler. Sometimes we are the cause of our problems. Gambling was in no way created to cause harm to anyone, it's more like a gaming activity, that we sit down to just enjoy. But in the type you get to make real money when you win.
As we know, it's risky. That's the part where we have to take very serious. We aren't just gambling for the fun but to as well make something good out of our time. Many at times people begin to misuse the whole concept and forces their selfs which in one way or the other, created problem for them as regards to gambling..

well the truth is that, there will always be people who will have misconceptions of something, and these set of people end up passing off these misconception to others who are also pretty much as naive as they are, and this is how these misconceptions spreads from people to people, and before you know it, it becomes generally accepted by many, and the consequences also befalls on those who accept and act according to those misconceptions.

If everybody were to actually see gambling for what it really is, then I'm sure that no one would experience unintended losses through gambling, and no one would also suffer from addiction. it is due to the misconception that has been spread about gambling and has been generally accepted, that pushes a lot of gamblers into making terrible mistakes that costs them their money, time and even relationship with people around them.
