Topic: there doesn't seem to be anything in the way of study of people who don't feel like gambling

For whatever reason, I can't be bothered. Or I'll try some, but don't like to spend too much, and then just stop. Or I might find the machines or websites annoying with sights and and sounds. They should study what makes some people just not able to get properly addicted.

Gambling is weaponized psychology.
