Gambling Addiction

[SkiBall]

I guess it's really only a problem if you're an ineffective gambler. It really seems like gambling would lose a lot of its luster when you start losing massive amounts of money. I guess the difference between a gambler and a problem gambler is the one without a problem is able to walk away.

I have been putting a few bucks into DraftKings for sports betting over DFF. Just cashed out a few hundred (thanks Tommy),. Left about 150 in there to play around with some BB and hockey. Think I am close to break even, but whatever I may be down was worth the entertainment this past year.

YOU WERE WITH HER AND ALL YOUR MONEY WENT BYE-BYE WITHOUT YOU KNOWING WHY, AND NOW YOU'RE SEPARATED AND TRYING TO HELP HER OUT. BRILLIANT.

Co-dependency is a thing.

Running a pawn shop at a boarding school could be profitable.

exactly this.

it isn't just the foreign kids, though. plenty of kids from the states were "hypebeasts" as they say. instead of lifestyle clothing it is like clothing is their lifestyle. always talkin bout the new supreme drop or yeezy release.

Robert Lui a chinese guy from Vangroovy I worked with called the things chinese kids did to cars " Chinasizing "

I'm always amazed how many people seem to be willing to shell out ~$1,000 for one of those Canada Goose coats. I guess it shouldn't be a bit surprising that there's another brand that's for people who think $1k isn't quite enough to spend on outerwear.

Hey, that's good advice! It's not gambling, it's investing. Same financial outcomes, without all the societal disapproval.

Just to clarify, are we here on TGR judging others for their winter outerwear spending?

I drive to the mountain in veilance or acronym then change into dirtbag gear for the actual skiing.

Until they start trading many times a day. Blow it all on trading fees

Two of my roommates ran numbers in college. People would come in with all kinds of shit when they couldn’t pay.

Me and my other roommate usually got called into negotiations over the value of said shit, we had some real nice stereos and TV’s back then for pennies on the dollar.

I was reading just recently that this is a young person's problem, will fade.

Holy shit. Are you kidding? Is that the opinion for online gambling only?
What cures most people is running out of money and ending up losing things like cars and houses. But quitting is next to impossible for many gamblers. The reason I say your (Benny's) story doesn't hold water for me is that it is a well-known fact that casinos prey on elderly widows who are lonely. The casino provides plenty of ass kissers (called hosts) who make them feel wanted and like they have friends. Once the widow plays off all the insurance money and whatever other disposable income she has, they forget they even know her. Must be even colder on the internet. Where I'm going with this, OP, and you might not like it, is what shortcoming in her life is she making up for?

[nickwm21]

Over the next 20 years the casinos are going to suck the slot pullers dry as they die off and transition to skill based games. Gambling addiction will only grow.

I know plenty of people couldn’t care less about card games or slots but would loose a fortune playing Mariokart or Corn Hole in a casino setting.

Atleast you would have the opportunity to improve your luck with practice.
