The sooner you accept that it is an addiction, the easier it will be to keep it under control. I say again that the biggest risk in betting is seeing it as an investment and losing your life with it.
The only organization that makes money from betting is a house that actually provides a legitimate entertainment service. For you to win, someone else has to lose. A bet also cannot be an investment because it does not produce anything, it does not produce profits like companies, calves, rent or anything like that. “A bet cannot be considered an investment because it does not protect the principal and does not guarantee an adequate minimum return. In the long term this will only be a fraction. My father has a large cattle operation and has not been negative for the last year.
