TBH, it is not life conditions that force ordinary people to become gambling addicts, it is the rush to enjoy something that can be both fun and profitable depending on personal expectations. Someone can judge the gambler for a useless activity that hurts financially and emotionally. Still, the person who judges may be interested in giving it a shot one day just to understand the principle behind the gambling world.  Financial needs shouldn't be a reason to fall into this trap that has a hidden house edge that melts gamblers sooner or later. Just my 2 cents.
