I really can't understand the mindset of a gambler. My cousin, born in '95, dropped out of high school and first worked in my uncle's factory. After having a conflict with an employee, my uncle kicked him out. He left because he wasn't happy, then got certified as a maintenance worker, but quit because he was scared of installing air conditioners at a high level. Now he's delivering food. A few years ago, he got married and had a child who is now over 4 years old, so he should be mature by now; But a few days ago, he became obsessed with scratching lottery tickets, spending 1000 yuan on a book of tickets. In the past couple of days, even counting the winnings, he's still at a loss. He has pawned his electric bike used for deliveries and downgraded his phone for cash. Now he's lost over 10,000 yuan. His boss has even started giving him tips and water. It's already 10:30 PM and he's still scratching. The key is that the psychology of a gambler is hard to guess, and it's difficult to persuade him to stop. First, he won't listen at all, and second, he's thinking that if he wins big on the next ticket, isn't that cutting off his source of income?
