Where have I mentioned giving money to a gambler?
I said I feel it would make more sense to give money to charities concerned with some of the negative effects of gambling, if giving money at all.
For example, the suicide rate in Las Vegas is very high with gambling obviously being one of the contributing factors.
Giving money lets say to fund mosquito nets in a poor African country I feel is partly a vanity donation by those doing it from poker winnings. If it is not then IMO they should additionally give money to the gambling related charities.
