      You realize people can’t choose if they are addicted to gambling right? It’s the same as any addiction. Most people don’t even realize they have a problem until they have hit rock bottom.

        Gambling in any way is a problem. It’s a dumb activity which leads only to sadness. There is no safe amount of gambling.

        I blame alcoholics for drinking, not brewers for brewing beer.

      Gambling disorder is recognized by the DSM, this comment comes across as victim blaming and ableist.
