QUESTION #6
Did gambling cause a decrease in your ambition or efficiency?

ANSWER: Yes.. From work.. The process, and then the after effects of a win or a loose takes a toll on you. Like drugs, there is a period where you don?t do anything but isolate yourself in a zone for a period of time. Only to snap out of it, and then to gamble again wanting and ending up back in that zone again.


QUESTION #7
Did you have a strong urge to return and win more?
ANSWER: Of course.. Stupid question.. Of course?..


QUESTION #8
Did you often gamble until your last dollar was gone?

ANSWER: Of course.. Its called degenerate.. Its happened many times.
Get up, way up. Way way up.. Then loose your profits and what you started with.
No matter how high up I got, it seemed I could in time loose it back down. Hell, if I could win 1 million bucks in a day off a bet, chances are the next day id tell myself, one more bet..


QUESTION #9
Did you ever borrow to finance your gambling?

ANSWER: Yeah in College.. Credit cards. But that was a long time ago. Told myself never gamble with my own debt again. Only play with house money. And its been that way for a while.. Ive only gone crazy on house money. But seems these past months ive been dipping into the credit cards.. This month is what opened my eyes.. Spent more than I make. And wont be able to pay it off till January.. First time this has heppend since by college days. Scares me.


QUESTION: #10 Have you ever sold anything to finance gambling?

ANSWER: No.. Well ever??? Hmm. In college I would sell my text books from my college loans, get cash and gamble with the cash.. But that was almost 10 years ago..
