On the one hand closing comments will help to forget this thread, but on the other hand, i think that we need to remember the OP. If he will create new thread with similar idea it would be easy to find this thread and remember to the OP, that he can`t develop anything more than a year.
It seems to me that you are mistaken.
Not all gamblers eventually become addicted to gambling to such an extent that they can be considered drug addicts, people who are in need of proper treatment for this addiction and then preventive measures. Just the vast majority of players just gamble and do not experience any irresistible desire to constantly sit down for the game. The bulk of all players in the world, I think, play occasionally, some more often, some less often, but this cannot be called gambling addiction because such people are just having fun. And have fun.
And by the way, most people think that losing money is just a payment for fun during the game.
And also a payment for the joy that you received if you won.

I can agree when we are talking about gamblers, but now we are talking about potential investors and the OP that makes great announce and nothing except it. The gambler is a player(the most part of them) and knows that he is in casino and has a big chance to lose, but investor spends his money to get more money. He has to spend time, analyze project, decide how much he is ready to spent, etc. And he can just read this thread and save time and money.
