Many addicted gamblers I know are not ready to go the normal hard route to make money, they are isolated and finding ways to make the money easily then gambling became the only option to them.
Sorry to burst your bubble but gambling is the hardest route to make money. It is easier to make money through selling recycled materials than gambling. Just learn a skill. It will pay you faster and it doesn't need to be a tech skill. A skill that people need.
I am saying all these people because i did helped two people on my tuff or so I thought, I found them web3 jobs online and since they love isolating themselves I should be easy, I waited patiently thinking that finally they will escape the tense of gambling and losing money and focus on having a life but they started complaining that they can't wait long to make money.
They are not lazy. They are delusional. That is their problem. It is sad that that is what the world has been turned into easy quick money.
It's like they won't want to work and yet gambling isn't helping either, I guess this effect happened because they have tasted how it feel like to win some money through gambling so they shut every other doors.
They are likely on the route to becoming addicted to gambling.
