I would consider it naive that gambling can help someone life. On the one hand, some people play well and they get to win money but this is a very small percentage of players, mostly people in the casino, only lose their money and become very poor, but the problem does not end there.
Helping someone's life does not always mean that someone is going to be rich or getting alot of money from gambling. Sometimes it could be as small as having fun. Sometimes people think too much about getting profit that they forget they can get fun as well when playing so for me atleast it help me relieve stress
