Depends on how you look at it. Some people find it as a game.
And some people see it as an enemy because they have lost everything. Anyone else think gambling
There is only on point of view for gambling. Rarely two. The second one is to go one time within a month to spend some bucks only to make a drink and passe some time. But for the most of the people it is not game. They want to win because hope to have luck. But even if is treated as a game and they gamble continuously (always treating as a game and thinking that it is a game) soon or later will become addicted by this "game" and will passe at the next step: the step of ruin themselves and their family or all their dears. It is scientifically proven that gambling continuously for a long time bring for sure addiction. This is not known by most of the gamblers. This make gambling even more risky.
Well, some people have addictive personalities and some people don't. It is not necessarily true that gambling often will ultimately lead to an addiction. And, even if it were to lead to an addiction, there's no evidence that suggests that the addiction would be a bad thing or a thing that causes problems. I mean, I know people who're addicted to gardening who have beautiful landscaping around their properties which only appreciates their properties' value. My point is that some people are prone to addiction but some addictions turn out to be assets. Addictions are bad when they cause strife....not just because they have the POTENTIAL to cause strife.
