This thread really just continues.... now it already reach 350+ pages
I don't know what to say about your comment on this thread but it is way too far from what OP asked, lol. It looks like you don't have any experience on gambling that is why you don't know what to say or what opinion you are going to give about gambling addiction, but I know that you are addicted to something and that is what you called "passion" or "habit", in that way, you could relate it on gambling addiction.
The thing is that addiction is a topic that would keep getting so much discussion for life as long as people keep gambling. He might not understand what some people are passing through daily with addictions, but sometimes, most people just dont find help easily and then come here to look for ways on how people perceive it if it could help.
There will always be newbies to gambling and there would always be addicts and then there would always be this discussion.
