In the past 6 months three of my friends went from riches to rags because of gambling - GoFuckYourself.com

Antonio · 03-13-2006, 12:32 PM

ok, they weren't millioners but they had reasonably good businesses, and now two of them are selling their houses, and the third one has only 6-7 cars in his car dealership (the place used to be packed with 50+ cars at all times)

I don't think I even understand what the big thrill about gambling is, I've only played couple of times in casinos and never lost more than 50-100 bucks at a time, how can a guy gamble all his money away is beyond me!!!???

WiredGuy · 03-13-2006, 12:37 PM

I can understand their pains. Damn Caribbean Poker is gonna get my life savings...

Trax · 03-13-2006, 01:05 PM

I gamble alot too, the big problem for me is where i put all the money from winnings

Hope your friends get some luck, but not everybody can win

Tom_PM · 03-13-2006, 01:11 PM

You cant think of it like "I'm going to win $1000 tonight", you have to have more of a "I'm going to spend $10 tonight" and leave it at that.

I love that game

RRRED · 03-13-2006, 01:12 PM

That sucks. I have an indian res casino 5 minutes from my house and I see alot of people where I live totally fuck up their lives going to that place. I rarely ever go anymore but I do love to play a little pai gow and blackjack.

You ever try Pai Gow?

WebairGerard · 03-13-2006, 01:12 PM

That sucks! self control is the key and most people don't have it.

Nom_is · 03-13-2006, 01:13 PM

People seldom do what is in their best interests, but if they cannot even exercise control with poker then they are fucking stupid.

tranza · 03-13-2006, 01:15 PM

That's fucked up bro.

I worked as a casino host during the Tampa bay/Raiders game, we had 400 families that mortgaged or sold their homes to bet on the Raiders, the raiders lost and they all lost their homes and went broke, I had to help 3 families sell their cars so they could have money to get home and figure out a place to live.

It is a tragic disease.

I think gambling is fine, just have to control the spending.

Tell them to keep at it. They're only a loser if they quit.

i can't seem to loose on that game. I've been 6 times in the last 3 weeks - never made less than $400 profit EACH time.

Lace · 03-13-2006, 02:09 PM

I love gambling, youve just got to know self control..Set limits.

Tat2Jr · 03-13-2006, 02:10 PM

I like spending my money on women and drugs. Much better bang for the buck!

gornyhuy · 03-13-2006, 02:10 PM

I think some people just have addiction in their personality or their brain chemistry - be it drugs, gambling, sex, whatever - they just get into an obsessive phase on something and nothing but devastation will crack it.

After 3 consecutive times of going to the casino and losing $1000 each time, I finally got a descent return last time. Niagra must have it in for me.

Let me answer by a question. At the end of the day, do you know a casino that's short? If not, it's because odds are and always will be against you.

The worst that can happen to anyone is to win the first time.

tristan_D · 03-13-2006, 07:01 PM

I guess we should all learn from this

High Plains Drifter · 03-13-2006, 07:06 PM

Gambling is a terrible, terrible thing.... unless you're profiting from it.

xNetworx · 03-13-2006, 07:07 PM

Fuck Gambling.... unless you are good at it

nick1980 · 03-13-2006, 09:56 PM

That should serve as lesson for everyone here not to gamble always.

chadglni · 03-13-2006, 10:13 PM
