Ok, so I am no defender of the gambling industry but AOD isn’t promoting the gambling industry here – he is warning against the perils of it. At no point has he tried to advertise any particular gambling site so I don’t really think he should be criticised.
It is his job. I used to work in a pub – there are alcoholics out there – it wouldn’t be fair for them to attack me either.
I even know compulsive gamblers who continuie to work in the gambling industry, I also know CGs who are unable to do so.
Personally I don’t blame the industry anyway; it is ME who has a problem. My brother gambles most weeks and has done for years – he wouldn’t answer “Yes” to any of the GA 20 Questions. The gambling industry didn’t steal a single penny from me – I was more than happy to keep handing it over to them.
As AOL has said, if someone has issues with the gambling industry then the solution is simple – stop using it and start using the support and taking the positive actions that will enable you to do so.
