Would we see such comments found in this thread if she had stuffed one million quid into her purse last year? In other words, is it a question of scale? I suspect it is and sheer envy is at play. Having a punt, whether large or small, via endless mediums, is essentially about the something for nothing culture. Those who lose too much have character flaws.
Envy? That much money off the back of betting (and all of its connotations) is simply a bit vulgar. Or.. a lot. IMO.
Personally, I don't get envious, never have, but I would look at someone who has achieved well in honest toil, retired early with a relatively modest mil or two and think, good on ya - nice one.
