You seems to be a very good citizen Leaving gambling might be easy for those who are not really enjoying the fun part of gambling or for those who use it as a professional job (poker players and sports bettors), but it can be really hard to leave gambling for those who have been enjoying it for years. As I said before in many other thread, gambling is illegal in my country (it was legal years ago) but there are still many people gamble now. Frankly speaking I have no idea why some countries consider gambling as illegal or as a crime, if the reason is solely related to religion (sin), I cant really accept this reason since religion is a privacy and sin is a about ourselves in connection with the God.
