Gambling stages.
1. Curiosity, you try it since you thought it could be fun and maybe profitable.
2. Addict, you got some big wins and are now hooked, or got big losses and are desperate to get them back.
3. Rock bottom, you lost everything, time to stop gambling?
4. Desperation, haha no. You earn some money to just gamble away.
5. No brainer, you make stupid decisions just to get money for gambling, you're an addict x3
