If you can stop gambling then that is a good thing to do but also remember that all shortcuts to make money come with high-risk of losing your investments. So think many times before choosing any short-cuts. All good investments need time to do a business and to give you profits so don't put all your hard earned money into short-cut methods.
"Shortcut" is the right word that really describes gambling mistakes. People that are poor or unfortunate believes that gambling is the key to get rich but they are always wrong.
