No serious  minded gambler stakes without applying certain critical and logical tools. The process and ability of subjecting your plans into achieving success while placing a bet is what defines the rationality of betting in gambling.

The damaging effects of gambling is huge to an extent that we cannot exhaust it's revelations here.
For the young that are still growing up, gamble can ruin their educational pursuit especially when they are still under parental care.

Moralization of gambling is a critical and philosophical topic to write or talk about. Some scholars or opinion viewers believe there is no moral justification for moralizing gambling because of the damaging effects on young people especially when it comes to addiction lack of concentration. Others argue that the economic value of it in an era of unemployment and penury justifies why gambling should be justified and moralized in our time more than any other thing. What's your position and opinions on this please?

Prevention is better than cure right? The phrase is popular among health discussions but it can also be applied to gambling and any other addiction. This is why I also understand anyone who says stay away from gambling to become more productive and useful to society. When someone is branded as a gambler, it's usually negative and that's because they are already known to be addicted to it.

I completely agree with you as the famous dictum implies, prevention will always be better than cure.
