Do you think problem gamblers can save on themselves to start living in the "bright future" they hope for after a big win at the casino?
The same goes for problem bettors and sports betting.
Maybe not a bright future but something of as a passion or pastime from it.
Because of them being in that bad situation, they need to find an outlet of how they can entertain themselves and to forget the current problem that they're dealing with.
It's possible that it won't be from gambling is the solution that they are looking for. It won't be another addiction and deferred life that they want to prolong.
They don't need to do another thing that could push them deeper from the troubles of having another way to have anxiety and depression.
