I think it all comes down to the wrong mindset at the beginning when getting to know gambling, so that it eventually creates unreasonable expectations and makes gamblers addicted.

I will give an example in my environment and I saw it myself. At the beginning they got to know gambling, they were only introduced by other people, they didn't even spend any capital. Long story short, they won in the first try, that made their wrong mindset formed. Yes, they hope for something uncertain just because they have experienced victory.
