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.
i think many addicted gamblers are not like necessarily lazy!! it is as if some of them even work very hard every day just to make ends meet. but i feel the problem is not the hustle, the problem is that they see gambling as the fastest way to multiply what they earn. that is why you will see them stuck in the same cycle over and over again they will work, then gamble, then lose, then regret then when money comes again, they gamble with it just repeating same habit. maybe it is not about them being afraid of hard work, most times it could be the mindset of chasing quick money. because gambling gives that false hope of maybe today i will be lucky or maybe the big win is near and once a person locks into that belief!! it is very hard to break free of it...
