(1) some tournaments have re-entries; in most poker tournaments, for example, you can re-enter many times, so people can (and do) steam when they do this.

(2) but more importantly, most people's ethical concerns about gambling have nothing to do with the issue of whether their opponents will lose their self-control. I believe that it is more a matter of the guilty complex: "I am not contributing to society and when I win I am stealing bread from my brother's mouth."
