Any body that doesn't want to discipline there self in gambling so that they can become responsible gamblers, that means the person is ready to bear the consequences of their action at the end of the day. Someone that is very knowledgeable enough would not want to cause a problem of BP for themselves knowing that this is serious health issues.
I agree with you, anyone who decides to ignore the effects of not being aware of what they are doing will do very badly One of the most common things is letting money go just like that , That is something we see as the most serious thing, I see it as serious Without money it is difficult to survive, and if it is spent gambling, it is worse because the feeling of losing and ending up with nothing is not pleasant at all.
A gambler being discipline is not something that happens overnight. It most times traces back to the background and method of brought-up of the gambler. If a gambler grows in an environment where the children are not thought reservation and saving, there's no how the gambler will grow and learn how to take responsible risks. There are certain things that are not learnt in the old age, you just grow to become what you were shaped to become from childhood.
The best way to make people understand how to take calculated risk is by letting them earn money by themselves. If they learn how difficult it is to earn money, they will not spend it resklesly.
