I’m not referring to the people who gamble once in a blue moon. I’m talking about those who gamble habitually.

How come they’re all such garbage people, with legitimately no exceptions? Take a look at any high-stakes poker table and everyone except maybe the dealer is a de-facto scumbag.

    Because they have the means (money) to squander it gambling, similarly squandering it on any other vice: self gratification.

    It’s incredibly selfish, it’s probably money that could have made an employee’s life better, or a charity more effective.

      This makes sense. I agree with you.
