I guess, there is an adage that says "one man's food is a Poison to another".  Alot of people derives joy in gambling, while some takes it as a daily way to earn and also loss their funds. Just because you've made up your mind to stop gambling don't mean that others should stop. Everyone has a choice in life. How you decide to live today will tell your tomorrow so everyone bears their own problems. The only problem that comes with gambling, is it's addiction as someone who never tried it before decides to try for the first time and then "boom, he cashs out a huge amount. You don't expect such person to stop gambling. This will make him or her, to try more even when he encounters losses.
