"I just don't see how people can avoid making the mistakes. It's like they have to go thru that first."
I really do think so as well. People truly cannot avoid making the mistakes and if they do make the mistakes and they don't recognize it they getting deeper and deeper. Just like my buddy H Money did and he's well over $100,000 of Blood Sweat and Tears retirement money or put aside emergency money gone, that he could have controlled. He was in over his head and did not recognize it and he wouldn't listen to anybody. That's the problem especially when it's easy come easy go and it's the desire and it has nothing to do with what you know or your knowledge or your experience, I hope you understand what I'm saying.
The problem almost all of us have in gambling, is that those 'problems' we have, we fail to recognize and maintain them in the forefront 100% of the time, even when we do/have recognized them and discovered them. Compounding the matter, is that desire, greed, need to recoup, etc., whatever you want to label it. That will usually overpower the textbook, the knowledge, the experience, etc., etc., at least in gaming. In other things, such as engineering, science and basic business without a crowd-hype-etc., yes. But not gambling. That is what I discovered, found and am attempting to convey here.
