I do think he did have a bit of lack of self-control at times. However, I don't think his gambling was a major issue of his. He approached gambling like chess as something to be analyzed and won at through patterns and logic. I feel like for him it was less of the thrill of winning and more just being good at it, and making some money, that was the biggest draw.

I totally agree with you. Additionally, I also liked Ron's confidence. I think that's what made him such a persistent person. If that makes sense? And I really don't agree with Ron's view of relationships.

I'd say one of Ron's weaknesses was his gambling habit. He was very fortunate that he got help before it took him down into a spiral from which it's hard to get back up. What I appreciated in him was his determination and willingness to just go and try things.

Well, according to my point of view, Ron actually doesn't have a bad side. He has got several weaknesses. Anyway, no one is perfect, and the same theory is applicable for Ron as well.
