Do you know anyone whose life was ruined by gambling? This can be a dangerous addiction. Any older guys here who have seen the damage done by addicted gambling instead of just working a normal steady job?
Even if you win big, if you're the type of person who is attracted to gambling in the first place, and are the risk seeking type, you will not change overnight just b/c of a few new zeros in your bank account. They WANT the action. That's WHY they have $2m winnings. People do not change. Lottery winners keep buying tickets!!
I am neither a poker player or a gambler. I don't care what people do, but I like hearing stories of human behavior. I just play poker on my phone for fun. People here have to know some crazy gambling disasters of people they've known at one point.
Has anyone read a good in-depth book about life as a gambler? I would like to read it and follow the rollercoaster life it must be. Nightmarish, on some levels.
Here are some videos I liked. Got any to share?
Anyone ever watch Owning Mahowny?
