Yes, but it depends on the individual.

Many of us have been gambling for years and have never committed a crime.

Just like many folks do recreational drugs in their homes and don't commit crimes.

Depends on the individual.

I don't buy the theory though JJ.

wtf is it to say that "gambling can lead to serious crimes"?

anything can lead to a serious crime.

how many violent crimes are committed every day that have absolutely nothing to do with gambling?

I'm willing to bet very many.

And who the fukk are these so called "experts"?

you mean to tell me that a person needs a degree to say "gambling can lead to serious crimes"?

yeah no shit sherlock so can a bad investment in the stock market.

just don't buy it.

for me, it's all about individual responsibility.
