So... I agree that gambling is a good way to measure how responsible a people is with your money, but I disagree that it is "a cure" to someone who has difficulty to make responsible decisions... I think if a person already has an impulsive tendency to make bad decision... if they start gambling, it will only worse your situation.

Honestly, I think that someone who already has these kind of problems will always have higher levels of impulsive decisions, difficulty to evaluate long term consequences and underestimating risks... they are do very bad decisions even when they receive clear feedback about losses and gains, that is... they have a distorted understanding of what is right and wrong, and for someone like that, only professional help can improve their situation, and that involves staying away from gambling.
