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 won't know things if you didn't try it and somehow how people can conclude about those things if they didn't have any experience. So maybe if they really like to gamble then try it so that they will not became ignorant and say some statement without any good basis.

Addiction is not always about playing but rather became excessive towards those activities they are participating also greed contribute a lot on why people suffer that condition. If they really want to avoid that and don't want to gamble then better stay in that situation. But if they are curious to try something new then there's nothing wrong if they try to experience these things but make sure that they can control theirselves not to spend much or expect its easy to became rich in gambling.

People with addictions don’t want to admit their problem because it would show weakness in the eyes of others. And how can they come to terms with the fact that who thought they were so smart suddenly ended up not on top. That makes them believe it’s not the end yet, they need to keep playing. The stronger the ego, the more dangerous the situation can become. I believe that gambling should be taken more lightly,even if you lose a large sum, don’t turn it into a massive problem in your mind. You need to draw conclusions, solve the issue, and avoid making the same mistake twice.
