You're right when ppl say the word gambling it's linked to addiction. I know it isn't fair because there's going to be ppl who gamble but they aren't addicted so it's good they're controlling their spending & bets. I don't gamble that's why I'm not addicted to it.
Rich ppl get addicted to gambling & poor ppl get addicted to gambling. Rich ppl put higher bets than poor ppl because they've got the money but poor ppl can't so they'll gamble according to their finance. Rich or poor they shouldn't gamble.
And what exactly is the reason behind you saying that they shouldn’t gamble? Because of addiction? What about if we start preaching about them learning about proper gambling habits that would help them avoid addiction instead of preaching total abstinence from gambling, I am sure that you gamble and probably not addicted to it, if you could do it why then do you think a rich person or someone who has money but not too much won be able to gamble without becoming addicted to gambling?
I have said it before that it has gotten to the point where people are now linking the word “gambling” to addiction the moment it is mentioned and that will only keep it from gaining more bad reputation.
