When I wrote my article on addictive gambling this was exactly what I had in mind. Foxwoods did a good, fair one that shows signs of true problems like wondering if you can pay the bills.

This one is an utter joke. Any recreational gambler that has done it for a decade has probably broken at least 10 of these rules. If we believed GA then half the country would be addicted to gambling. That is a terrible thing because the small percentage that have true problems would be buried amongst a lot of false suspects.

I keep trying to get through the 20 questions, but then it is post time at another track and then I have to check Don Best for scores. I will try to get to answering these tonight while I am playing some 10-20 holdem at 5am, but I can tell you tight now, I do not have any gambling problems.
