When asked why they gamble during Tết, many say "Well, if I win the game, it means luck for me for the entire year." In common card games played in Tết, the rules clearly state that there can be only one winner. Sometimes, the winner can win triple the bet of the losers, and the losers can lose more than they intended. Therefore, any gambler must face the consequence of losing, and if losing means bad luck, why would he even want to gamble at Tết? If you know someone who gambles a lot, please first be a listener, not a judge, and try to show them a better path in life.
