Gambling is a no for me as well. Not just because it drains away one's finances but it also causes one to lose sleep and become suicidal if the gambler loses the staked money.
I see it as an indirect firm of theft because the person puts in a little money to get triple the staked amount which other people lost. So no no no to gambling.
It is a big No for a sane person but unfortunately, not everyone sees it that way because of what they believe.
Lol, that is true.
