Just curious...with all the highs and lows, it would seem gamblers would be more likely to get down more than the average Joe who's not a passionate sports fan,with money on the games :icon_conf



Thoughts?

I don't get depressed over the highs and lows of wins and losses, One reason is because I win alot. Where I get depressed, Is the time I put into this, but I feel I have to, to give myself a fighting chance. I look forward to March Madness, Not for how great an event it is , but I know that when its over I have alot more time on my hands. so I can be sort of normal again. I'm not sure if that helps anybody but just a thought from a dedicated Gambler

I think it must be a factor in the high suicide rates in Nevada. Not to mention high rates of alcholism and other addictions.

What's depressing to me is that guys like Charles Therwanger(ex-aces gold owner) and Bill/Lance(ex-NAB) owner roam the streets with their heads up high.

WHAT IS EVEN WORSE IS THAT BOOKS (AND YOU KNOW WHO YOU FVCKING ARE) TAKE THESE GUYS AND GIVE THEM SHEETS ON THE CUSTOMERS WHO WERE LOSERS AND DIDNT OWE OR THE ONES WHO WERE PAID BECAUSE THEY WERE SUCKERS.

I dont get depressed, win or lose, life goes on, and there are more important things, than worrying about the next bet!:dancefool

Most of the time it is depressing for anyone to have and give up money to gambling debt, doctors, lawyers, electric co's, gas co's, water co's, etc....

The problem with gambling is worse because when you lose, you have to think of how those funds could have went to a better cause. Unfortunately many gamblers lose and there is alot of depression.
