How do we know it was gambling? Maybe it was just dice addiction. They’re just so damn cool. I can stop buying them anytime I want. I promise!
Just please don’t check my mailbox for the latest Kickstarter I pledged. Or my recent Etsy or eBay orders. Or my Amazon history.

There's no reason to assume that dice have to have been used for gambling.
