There are people out there who do not want to play gambling at all because they think that once they do, they will fall into addiction. Of course, we know it’s not that immediate nor easy but it makes me wonder whether there’s some truth to that. Is it better to avoid addiction in the first place by completely devoiding yourself of doing that activity instead of playing and getting addicted only to try and recover afterwards?

You make it sound as if everyone is weak and gives in to addiction. Only weak minded people are in danger, not everyone is an idiot. Making 1 bet doesn't make you a degenerate and betting regularly doesn't either. People work hard and deserve to have a little fun with their earnings as long as they do it in a responsible way. Not everyone is willing to bet their kids on the next game.

Actually, there will be people who really don't want to get into a high-risk moment and some people who prefer a challenge and want to try something new even though it seems quite high-risk.

But it's about trying to push our own limits, If we find our passion in gambling and it becomes a new hobby, it probably won't be bad as long as we do it with full responsibility and are aware that every game will have wins and losses.
People who get into gambling initially just want to try, but when they find a place that makes them happier, they will enjoy it.

A few days ago I also watched a show about a gambler who started his first gambling at the age of 8 due to the influence of his family, he became a professional player and once participated in a poker tournament.
But with so many losses he ended up going bankrupt by spending all his money at the gambling table, But the plot twist he didn't stop and said that gambling was a part of his life and would never go away and then he rebuilt his business with the main rule that gambling is done with good and Responsible management.
