Religion usually prohibits things that have a bigger bad side or loss. For example, gambling can have a bad impact if you are addicted to it, which can harm many people. Then prostitution has detrimental sides such as the potential for contracting dangerous diseases.
However, from a political perspective, of course these two things can be profitable for the country because they can be taxed, which is why not a few countries legalize gambling and prostitution simply to be able to take these profits as state tax income.
For people who are not religious, I don't think there is a problem, they can do whatever they want as long as it doesn't conflict with the rules that apply where they live.

I believe that something can not destroy ones career unless the person give it a chance, so betting can't destroy ones life if the gambler doesn't give it chance. Given gamble a chance to destroy careers is only when guy are addicted to it, and additions starts gradually gradually, at the time you know you are getting addicted to gamble you must make an amend so you won't lose everything you have. I have heard stories were gamblers says they sold their houses, cars and other furnitures and use the money to gamble thinking they will win but they ended up losing everything that they have worked for. So it's better to gamble with what you can afford to lose.
Few reasons why many religions doesn't like gamble is because they don't want people to get addicted and they know if one is addicted the person might sell his/her properties to gamble. But still there are people in those religions that still gambles.

saying gambling can't ruin lives unless one permits it is technically feasible, but why play with fire? My experience with gambling is that it promises mountains but often leaves you in holes. My friend, addiction is the ultimate shape-shifter. It bursts in as "harmless fun." You soon find yourself selling dreams on eBay to fund nightmares in a love-hate relationship with Lady Luck.

That faiths are gambling buzzkills? Their idea is right. They want to prevent the flock from despairing, not just stop gambling. Others in the pews take the risk. We're all drawn to danger, but don't glorify it. In gambling, the only safe wager is your resolve and insight to know the odds are never in your favor. Bet on anything else? You'll probably lose that bet. Remember that what you can't lose is your values, duties, and sanity

Results and outcomes in life would really be just that depending or basing up into those decisions that you had made out on which if you are someone whose really that letting those kind of tolerance
when it comes to gambling and make yourself that getting addicted to it, then expect that you would really be able to experience the worst.The wrong thing on here is that people wont really be making out
those realizations until they would really be able to experience for themselves on which it would really be better that you should have done it earlier so that you would really be able to avoid.
We do know that there are really religions on which it would really be that making you that prohibit on doing gambling but since not everyone do follow those teachings or scriptures then there are
ones who would really be continuing to play.

This would really be that a personal kind of choice on which whether you wouldnt really be tending to go against with those religious or divine things or wouldnt really be minding
as long you would really be able to do on what you do have in mind. It would really be just that depending into your own preference and decisions in life on which
its impossible that you wont really be wary about these things along the way.
