I dont think I have the gene, but am very wary of ever getting into gambling for these reason. Ive heard from psychologists/psychiatrists that its possible the most difficult addiction to treats. Beyond any drugs.
Ive never know anyone personally (or that I know of). What about you? --- The most powerful force in the universe is love ... Copied to Clipboard!

That Nittany_Lions character lost a fair bit of money, and was very keen to double down on the losses in a glorious topic.

Dude comes into my convenience store and buys $100 tickets everyday. Sometimes he will buy like 5-6 of them waiting to win. But he will go through an entire roll of 15 in a few days. He says he doesn't have an addictions and it's just his hobby but like......he spends thousands a week.

I bet you can't prove my gambling addiction.

I literally dont have a gambling addiction. People attempt to troll me by saying that I do because I placed a sports bet one time. And for some reason think $250 is a lot of money. Not trying to sound like an asshole, but $250 wouldnt even make me flinch. ... Copied to Clipboard!

My grandfather had one pretty bad. He was a skilled card player but couldn't gamble well with sports. If he and my grandmother were still around she'd have his cellphone under lock and key.

Ive known a few who have talked about losing thousands casually. Their response is always "I'm going to make it right back." or some variation of making more the next weekend.

In HS I worked at a movie theatre that was in a mall next to a race track (Santa Anita). Sometimes the "track bums" as we called them would come in after a day at the races and we got to know a few of them. They could be called degenerate gamblers. These guys would have bets on everything going, from numbers to horses to NFL & NBA.
They all cheated on their wives, one guy said "70-30 odds against getting caught" once. He was serious. AFAIK none of them had any substance abuse problems but they all had a certain level of jitteriness in the same way that crackheads and tweakers have. I learned to recognize that. --- Putin delenda est ... Copied to Clipboard!

I just dont get the thrill. Potentially losing thousands nerve racking and if you get lucky, quit while youre ahead cause youll lose more in the long run. But thats why I dont gamble, I guess.

I used to play poker full time and made friends with a guy that had a gambling problem. It was my first time dealing with someone that was otherwise successful with a debilitating addiction.
He worked at a huge law firm and would use his annual bonus to pay off some of the debt he would get on over the year. Would lose 2-5k very regularly over and over. Smart guy that just couldnt stop. Wild to see. He was making like $400k at the time and I had to pay his mortgage a few times. When he was winning it was a lot of fun to be around. Had a $65k win one day. Brought me to the stop club after that (with the cash) and had a blast. --- ************************************************ http://i.imgur.com/iZdWIKJ.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

But thats why I dont gamble, I guess.Gachas are worse than real win money gambling cos the game starts off super fun then you hit a wall where you want to summon strong characters and the only way after grinding is spending money take it from me a feh and Genshin player. Ok I only spend Welkin and battle pass on Genshin but its still money spent every month though at least its a fixed amount but with feh theres like 5 packs an update that add up to like 100 a month ofc I only spend when Im tempted to summon a thing I like but I spend more on feh on average and even though I get what I want it feels bad every time like I could have saved that money for like a steam deck or something cool or literally anything but a few overpowered characters to defeat things faster and easier than if I didnt spend --- I am a mess and Felicia is the cleaner.... ...
