But it is true that gambling affects the emotions within us. Everyone who gambles has surely experienced emotions that may be uncontrollable, even those who gamble for fun. One example of irresponsible gambling is when someone cannot control themselves, for example, when their emotions peak and they continue to gamble instead of choosing to stop. Besides being responsible, self-control in gambling is difficult to achieve but easy to say, as evidenced by the numerous cases of gambling that occur due to a lack of self-control.
