How do you view irresponsible gamblers?

[Kennysplash]

When we say irresponsible gambling it means gambling compulsively without putting proper thought to it. This involves gambling with dedicated funds and not knowing when to stop.
I just don't have respect for such ones, I see them as not knowing the value of their lives and finances that is why they use it to enrich others.
How do you see them?

Irresponsible gambling should not be encouraged because if you gamble impulsively and you lose huge amount of money in the process, it could result in psychological problems. Irresponsible gamblers are often perceived as nonentity.

Irresponsible gamblers often don't see the negative impacts of their actions until it's too late. While addiction isn't always their fault, continuing destructive behaviors rarely helps anyone in the long run. It's always best to gamble responsibly and in moderation.

I do see them as someone that needs help. Unfortunately most people have always been stigmatizing against people that are addicted to gambling as if they intentionally want to do that. They really need help

I view irresponsible gamblers as people who are troubled in life and are using gambling as a way to avoid their problems in life. They use gambling to numb the overwhelming emotions they have in life. Such people need help and guidance rather than judgement. The should be made aware of support groups and programs that could help them overcome the problem.

I don't have any negative feelings toward irresponsible gamblers. Rather, I treat them as friends. They should not be excommunicated or rather treated unfairly if we want to encourage them to be responsible. Treating them otherwise would only compel them to adhere to their lifestyles.
We can as well discourage them from their practices through our good socialization with them. "Good conduct begat good result".

This is true. They should not be excommunicated just because they are engaging in irresponsible gambling. They should instead be brought closer and helped to overcome the habit. Some support will go a long way in keeping them accountable and able to overcome the addiction faster.
