Nef0r0 [#2]I don't understand how people gamble away thousands of dollars before realising they fucked up. My biggest fucking gamble was playing on that claw grabbing machine when I was little, ever since I just understood that such "low chance, big reward, 0 skill needed" situations are for retards
well really depends on the atmosphere you grew up in
personally, in Islam gambling is not allowed so I never had the issue. But if you grew up knowing about gambling and even participated in small bets and shit, it can get you hooked (like a video game)

I've never really gambled and don't plan to. But it's a psychological addiction. It's been shown to have a similar addictive patterns to drugs

Grandfathers spend their time betting on horse racing
Fathers spend their time betting on football
Children spend their time opening loot boxes.

So before that a person is dumb enough not to understand that the thing which says" ye ye, you can spend small and win BIG" doesn't sound like something which wants to rob you of your shit?

Also prevents Mongolian invasions, time to kill some ponies

Well at least you were smart enough to stop, congrats.

well, lets put it in a way you PERSONALLY can understand
for me its
"If you stop playing video games and focus on important stuff, you can get a good job"
but i stay gaming
try this with yourself on stuff you know you should let go off, but you just can't. Don't have to share it out, you can keep it to yourself

This is more of an opinion than a fact.
But I think it's not necessarily people being 'dumb', maybe like 30% gamble for the first time, already knowing the consequences. But the other say 70% of people are victims to their own emotions, usually gambling ads/casinos try and play to peoples emotions, and emotions are inherently irrational. Usually they prey on people already going through tough times, and make people think 'it can't get worse from here, so I might as well gamble since I have nothing to lose'.

I have the stuff which I love, but I am self critical enough to understand that I need to focus on other things as well. I like gaming, but I would also like to get good education. If I succeed in the first one, cool. If I succeed in the second one, Cool

True I guess, but CS skins are in no way comparable to casinos. There they can chop off your fucking hand for loans
