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 have tested easy money and are now addicted to that therefore they can't do regular jobs anymore and don't want to stress about making money the way the regular people are doing. Laziness contributes to irresponsible gambling because when you don't want to work, you're going to spend all the time you have trying to make it from gambling and since it doesn't favour everybody, the chances of you winning isn't there. If we can stop being lazy and decide to work, gambling isn't going to control us because then we have our own money and now gambling is just as an addition or for pleasure so we don't get bored.
I still don't know whether those who start gambling with the idea of earning money by gambling are ever able to earn more money by gambling. But I know very well that it is never possible to earn money by gambling. There are wins and losses in gambling, so no one will ever understand when he will win in gambling and when he will lose in gambling. Gambling depends on complete luck, so it is very difficult to understand when luck is bad and when it is good. It is very difficult to win regularly while gambling.
