It is clear that healthy gamblers and bettors will never ruin their reputation because of gambling. They will always stick to the truth and defend their principles.
And addicted players are not principled, they are ready to lie and keep silent about their true opinion, and also pretend. Both in front of relatives and strangers, and this is terrible. A gambler healthy from addictions will not try to win back, he will simply say: "Well, then the casino is not the thing where I can achieve great success."
