For me gambling does not increase crime but rather increase addiction to some people who does not know how to handle it properly. When it comes to crime, for me the number 1 aspect is drugs next is poverty. I don't consider gambling unless it was also associated with drugs.
So do you agree that it increases or not? Because on one side you say it doesn't then you say it does
But for drug addiction and gambling addiction is different. You see, when a drug addict takes drug every single day, they can affect their mind that will end up making crimes. Also, drugs are banned in our country the reason it is different with gambling.
On the other hand, gambling is not banned in our country which means we can gamble whenever we want the inly problem is the desperate ones that wants to win their every gambling sessions the reason they ended up commiting crimes. With gambling, there are still a lit of people with their sanities attached to them while drug addicts are feared because if they are under the effect of drugs, they can easily commit crimes without really thinking of it.
Well i dont consider recovering your looses an addiction if he meant to say that.
Ofc he needs to risk it but to follow the profit he will have to do it at all costs.
