This is not addressed to any specific person, nor intended as any sort of advice or interference in the business of anybody else: but simply to remark that it is a recognised fact that gambling can become an addiction and a marriage-breaker as destructive as alcoholism. Someone close to me is ending her life in near-penury, as the result of a habit developed fairly late in life by her late husband which lost him the entire proceeds, which should have come to her, of a reasonably successful practice built up over 40+ years. The whole lot rode away on the backs of racehorses.
