So laziness do contribute to irresponsible gambling.
Or you think I am wrong? It's very hard to make money in the real world this days, too many people are jobless because of economy or lack of business slots available and this has a negative impact on people.
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 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.
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.
I disagree with you that laziness has lead to gambling or addiction to gambling. A lazy person wouldn't work. They all seat and want to eat without working. If gamblers or addicted gamblers are lazy, how then do they get the money used for gamblers? You don't just gamble with empty hands, you spend money with the view making more. I believe a gambler became one because he chose to gamble at the first place, not necessarily because he is a lazy Person. Some of them finish all the pay at the end of the month at a go on gambling sites. Some go in intervals once they get anything. People who spend such money aren't lazy. They know the importance of working, but they have just chose the wrong wat to spend it. Becoming a gambler and later addicted is a choice that can be made by anyone, it's not made out of laziness because working people still gamble.
Laziness and gambling addiction often get mixed up but they come from very different roots laziness is when someone avoids work entirely while gamblers usually work or at least hustle to get money because gambling needs constant funding many even go through stress just to raise money for their next bet that level of effort doesn’t fit the picture of laziness. The real driver is the search for quick rewards people who gamble are often not running away from work itself but from the long wait that comes with building wealth in the normal way a job or a business takes months or years before it shows life changing results gambling on the other hand dangles the chance of an instant payout the moment someone experiences that thrill it creates a powerful memory that can shut their mind to slower paths and instead push them to keep chasing fast wins.
Addiction makes this worse because it changes priorities a gambler might work hard all month but use the entire paycheck on bets instead of food rent or savings others borrow or sell property just to fund their gambling these actions don’t show laziness they show misplaced focus and poor control over choices. Many people who are addicted also isolate themselves not because they don’t want to work but because the addiction takes over their time their emotions and their social life in such cases even when opportunities come like the web3 jobs you mentioned impatience and the craving for quick money lead them back to gambling when results aren’t immediate it’s not about refusing to work it’s about being trapped in a cycle where risky shortcuts feel easier than waiting for steady growth.
