The percentage of problem gamblers is no greater than drinkers who are alcoholic. Do we ban alcohol as well?

I say this as a former problem gambler who had a problem with gambling, and got much worse when the machines come in, but you can’t ban gambling for the millions who gamble responsibly.

I’ve probably given 50k to the bookies when I went a decade with a serious gambling problem. 2Same amount I’ve got left on my mortgage so I could be mortgage free at 41 but there’s no point looking back and thinking what if, what’s done is done.
