    Okay, I’m no proponent of gambling, but the brain’s chemical reward for winning gambles is real, it’s addictive, and calling everyone with a gambling addiction an immature loser that just needs to grow up is about as helpful as telling someone with cancer to just get better. Blame those that are exploiting them. Shame rarely helps the ones who are exploited. 90% of the time they are shaming themselves more than you could possibly fathom.
