I am really intrigued by how a normal gambling session can lead to gambling addiction.  I read people saying winning in a gambling session can lead to gambling addiction, while I read in articles that losing also leads to gambling addiction.  Does this mean that whether a person gambles for fun or for profit will be a gambling addict, since both winning and losing are experienced by the same group.
Do you know that eating food can kill and not eating food can as well kill? does that then mean that eating food should be seen as a bad thing or that we should stop eating food just because if we eat too much of it we can die in the process. the reason why winning can lead to addiction is because some that are too greedy always comes for more even when they have won thinking that they will continue getting lucky. they continue coming till they eventually lose it all in the process and someway somehow try recovering their loss and eventually get themselves trapped in the mess. same is usually the case with losses as people try to recover their loss and that becomes another form of wrong entanglement.

the way out is just to gamble responsibly even when you are winning or losing. set clear plan and ensure you follow it up to the latter. it does not cost much to be a responsible gambler. just do not allow greed come in your way.
