You should know its a NO.

Life doesnt work this way. The percentage of people that will successfully gamble their way into their first huge pay is like O.5, so the odds are against her

And do you call this a support? That clown is tryna inculcate a useless and wasteful habit into the young girl's lifestyle and you think thats a good thing?
