I think if you are somewhat prominent in gambling when you get rich, you might even get more addicted knowing that you have more money, and possibly gambling could make you more money. I think the part where the "opportunity" makes you feel like you are invincible and want to continue to gamble, it's really tempting. Maybe you are addicted to it.
It's best that you allot an allowance for gambling so you can manage the money that you have. Maybe with that, controlling gambling would be easier.
