Gambling and Loving It

Ludomania is a quenchless urge to gamble. It is an acknowledged desire to gamble even if the person knows that engaging in gambling is creating havoc in his life and the lives of his love ones. The degree by which ludomania is measured is in terms of the damage on the gambler itself and the people around him when the gambler takes another step further to steal and kill to get money for gambling.

Although gambling is considered to be a part of our society, Ludomania is considered a clinical pathological disease if it passes certain norms of behavior. People are unknowingly ensnared into gambling. They may at first gamble for recreation and entertainment. And then they gamble more for what’s at stake -----money, lots of money if you are lucky.

Gamblers are also risk-takers. Gamblers who cannot control their desires to gamble naively lose not only their money but the best quality which you intend for you and your family.
