Yes, in our eyes it is something stupid, but in reality in their eyes it is something they do, and in the end they lose everything due to their unhealthy gambling.
and I hope they will find this as wrong doing mate because this will ruin their life forever and better to not continue doing such.
That should be the case, but unfortunately not everyone can realize quickly that they have made a fatal mistake, even though they realize their mistake, if they are still controlled by emotions, then they will do the same thing again.
if they are still controlled by their emotion meaning there are no complete realization because once you said you realized then that will followed by changes?
and besides mistake is taken only for for times but if this is done many times and still then that is not mistake but that is what you called stupidity .
For example, they realize it is the wrong thing, but they have experienced too many losses, therefore they will pursue their losses, even though that is the second mistake they made. I still see that often.
that is chasing losses , and that is the foolish way to engage in gambling because none of us that have this attitude that when you know you are losing you will continue losing more.
