the daily mail exists to keep ignorant morons tiny brains ticking around in circles

never keep 1m in the bank available to you at all times if you are a degen, invest it the way that you get small returns every three months or so and play with that

nurse hanging out in upmarket bar = gold digger obv

His wife leaving him because he lost all of his money that he is so scumbag it's ridic. The spin that the daily mail throws on it about how online poker is the bad guy makes me sick, and we're supposed to feel sorry for this lady because she is now living in a house that isn't super nice after hardly working a day in her life. In reading this article and seeing the reactions on the daily mail website to the article can only solidify the daily mail being a piece of ****, and the bottom feeders who would react with any feelings that the "author" of this article intended for you to have for this woman are clearly the kind of people who will never be able to contribute anything to society besides counting the money that was given to them and generally making life less desirable for anyone who is not a sack.

I know it's true because I read it in the Daily Mail

The following example is homophobia rather than racism but it gives a good indication of what the paper is about. The original article was pulled soon after publication so you can't read the whole thing now

so you married a compulsive gambler who lost all your money..big ****ing deal, happens all the time, wifey cant blame anybody but herself...most people can gamble responsibly just like most people can drink responsibly for a lifetime with no serious ill-results, a certain percentage of the population are addicts and everybody knows this...they are not closing down any liquor stores just like they shouldnt close down any online gambling venues - once the govt starts getting their fair share of gambling income we'll be all good

to be fair, this kind of thing is not that unique to the mail. Lots of different media ( newspapers, tv etc.) make these kinds of distinctions but just don't speak openly about them. a missing 6 year-old white girl fromm the suburbs gets a lot more press and airtime than a 6 year old black girl from the ghetto. ofcourse this also reflects the viewing audience as the media is not necessarily doing it to be racist, but rather they know what sells. no matter what you may think of it. i'm sure that partticular paper may be crap, although i wouldn't know personally.

ok, and after you have gambled away this small return within the first week, what are you going to pay the rest of your expenses with?

Wife didn't even split w/ him after he'd dumped $1m, gave him a second chance...Amusing how everyone's so quick to bash the Daily Mail for being right wing, yet are all so chauvinistic when slating the wife.

yes, she did stay with him and he had relapse for 1000 dollars. however, this was before he ever went into treatment for his gambling. seems to me if you love eachother that you should exhaust all possibilities( but atleast one stretch of rehab/treatment) before calling it quits.
if your wife is an alcoholic do you tell her to stop and then if she has a relapse leave her? or would you be willing to give her a chance at going to treatment first?

I don't mind that it's right wing so much, it's just incredibly anti intellectual in every capacity. It's a terrible terrible publication. It makes The Sun look modest.

This is the Daily Mail's attempt to keep their rage balanced......

wp, wp.

i come from a Christian, conservative, daily (hate)mail reading family.

so at the first opportunity, my mother jumped at the chance to tell me about the article.

what a gold digger whore, he's better off without her

Tony watched every minute of Rounders and was ready to test out what he learned. He whispered to his wife the GOLDEN RULE.

In truth, Tony was the idiot at the table — and had been for a long time.... to be continued.
