True.
The biggest mistake in gambling is to think of gambling as a way to get rich, and this is what most new gamblers do. However, there are many people who cannot control their greed and make the same mistake over and over again, even after they have a lot of experience in gambling.
And for this, we are actually responsible. I don't think there should be any other arguments or blaming anyone else. Rather, if we understand at the right time that we need to increase our self-control and limit gambling to entertainment only.
Well done Miner, you hit the nail on the head. By betting, playing poker, or playing slot machines, you don't get rich. You get poor if you play with these expectations.
But if you say, i have a budget of 10 euros and i want to have some fun, then everything changes. In my opinion, this is something we need to understand.
