Why do people gamble?
Every gambler has his or her own reasons. Some say they gamble to escape problems in their everyday life, some to relieve boredom, and some because they thrive on the buzz they get from it. Many people who have developed a gambling problem believe that if they stick at it for long enough, they will win enough to cover their losses. In a strange way, money starts to lose meaning – for them it becomes valueless. They reckon they can use skill or strategies to control the outcome of their bets, but gambling is all about chance and no one can control chance.
