Substance abuse problems and gambling problems are basically the same. Both are horrible addictions/diseases that are very hard to overcome.
I hate the player, but man do I hope Kane gets the help he needs. Some people just don't know what to do when tons of money immediately comes their way. It's very unfortunate. Hopefully he learns a valuable lesson here and gets someone to help take care of his money/future earnings from this point.

You’re not wrong about the addiction aspect, but the distinction in my mind is with substance abuse it can end your life. In his case this puts him in a bad financial situation and wasn’t caused by something he couldn’t control. They’re warned about this stuff. His health physically is in no disarray, so I’m fine with poking him in this situation. It’s a little ridiculous to be in such bad debt that you have to have a puzzled look on your face on how it got so bad.
