they seem to be focusing on poker…thats fuckin ridiculous. people get addicted to duster too, but for the majority of the population who can gamble responsibly and keep duster in the house for cleaning electronics without huffing it…those are the people who the casinos are for. people are so fuckin stupid.

A gambling problem isnt an addiction – it’s a character flaw.
Most people who gamble recreationally would NEVER piss their families money away. While others will find all the excuses in the world to indulge in their hobby excessively.
It’s insulting to hear a line up of old hags blame their reckless behavior on the ‘addiction’ as if it’s some medical condition.
It can’t “just happen” to anyone. It takes an especially selfish and irresponsible person to do it. They deserve zero sympathy.

I’m Vicki (the 3rd woman who lost $30,000 to gambling). I have been free from gambling for over 4 years now because of my recovery group. I have also lost over 40 pounds and have regained my energy and my life back. LIFE IS GOOD!!

you know people like this need to realize after losing a few hundred dollars that you need to learn to improve your game and not flush anymore into it

Gambling is a very serious addiction and sickness. It is not easy for somebody who is a compulsive gambler to stop. There is a growing number of men and women who are becoming addicted to it. It can destroy your family, your job..basically your entire life.

If you want to take part in an International web-based study on gambling, by Oxford University, google ‘oxfordgamblingsurvey’ for the link.

I can see your superior intelligence and experience on this subject far supercedes mine and the donkeys in my community. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me.

ffs what ? idiots just stop it must be easy

well, your community might be filled with what we call “donkeys.” you see, donkeys love to gamble. they dont realize gambling is a form of entertainment. they gamble to win money, and this is where they are wrong. you gamble to have fun, not to win money. if you win, thats great, u made some bucks. but donkeys realize it as making money, not entertainment, and thats when they are in trouble. for me, i gamble responsibly. 10 dollar games wont hurt my bankroll.

What makes gambling bad? A casino opened up about an hour away from my community- I seen the destruction with my own eyes. I agree its your right to gamble, divorces- businesses lost- families torn apart- suicide- I’m not placing the blame on the casino’s, but I’m also not going to downplay the destructive effects that gambling had on our community.
