Definitely agree that gambling as a primary source of income can be dangerous and stressful but life is all about managing risk right? Sounds like you suffered a huge loss lately maybe? Agree to the extent that using gambling as a means to earn regularly can trap one in a cycle of dependency, where the next bet always feels like the chance to "make it all back" - but at the end of the day maybe you have to separate work from pleasure so that your day job doesn't become an addiction
