~ I'm surprised that only 54.5% of the voters think it is. C'mon, guys, would you trust your money to a compulsive gambler? I mean, not only there's a high probability of losing money, but you are likely to make the things worse for that person suffering from gambling addiction. Don't make an alcoholic to work at a booze store. That's a bad idea.
I think that most of them would entrust the money to them because they think and assume that ethics is the first thing to be maintained and the last thing to be lost, that the responsibility of a job is above anything that can give pleasure to the person and more if it's someone else's money, I think this is why they focus. But in my personal opinion money can be trusted but not much,
sometimes the addiction to a game or something can produce certain thoughts that go against one's own ethics in order to satisfy the need, this is something that has to be taken with a certain Caution, if you are a long time worker there is not much problem, however you have to keep an eye on it.
Ask doctors and they'll say, gambling addiction is a sickness, and if a person is ill, they should be treated first before anything else. But I like your opinion that "money can be trusted but not much". Maybe not for all addicted gamblers, but for some of them I'm sure that would be their treatment: seeing that they are still trusted, they will do their best to justify the trust.
