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.
I just don’t know what addicted gamblers do think because have seen some addicted gambler’s doing difficult jobs just to earn money, and at the end they will end up gambling with the amount which they earn, maybe they are not just satisfied with the amount they are earning, and they believe gambling is the easiest way which they can increase the money, but if they end up gambling with the money, they do end up losing most times but they can’t just stop gambling thats the issue, even as some do regret after losing, but when they make money again, they will still gamble with it.
Most people that are addicted to gambling are just people that want to make quick money, and they believe if they keep on gambling, they will be lucky one day, and they going to hit a jackpot, but you might be gambling everyday and you won’t be hitting a jackpot.
