There are many addicted gamblers and it is very possible that this very charitable individual who was willing to give out money for medical support has come across a few addicted gamblers in the past who he had tried to help and they diverted the money into gambling or they even lied about their situation just to get financial aid. I even commend the giver because the experience he has had in the past did not stop him from trying to give but has helped him to have principles and be wiser while giving.
Addiction to gambling is becoming very common in our environment, because there are now more options to gamble and more people gambling. When you deal with a person who you know is addicted to gambling, you have to be careful with them in things concerning money, because they can lie or scam just to get money for gambling.
