Gambling is only a problem when you lose all the time.
Most horseplayers win and lose but not lose enough to cause a problem and when they win, it's icing on the cake!
Some horseplayers will bet their last $2 and go home broke. That could be a problem!
Some make a living at it.
We all eat. Some overeat and cause a problem.
Some people do drugs and function normally. Some abuse them and it's a problem.
Many people drink alcohol with no problem. Others abuse it and it's a big problem.
You can only control what you do and not worry about others. You shouldn't lecture to people that "your way" is the only way. So you lost your house due to gambling or the stock market. That doesn't mean everybody will lose their house. It's not horseracing's fault. It's not the stock market's fault. It's your fault for making a bad investment.
