With addiction as a side effect of gambling, I do wish to know what exactly the success rate of your gambling is. How many times have you not found yourself facing simply losses and that you still pin hope on success?
If the only reason why we want to gamble is to earn money, don't gamble or play in a casino, get a job so you can get paid. Reason why I gamble is to entertain my self. There are times me and my friends drop by at a casino that is along the way when we get out from work. Its our way to bond with friends. Our goal is not to gain profits but have fun, clean fun. After playing, we don't feel bad that we lost money, we are all laughing our way out of the establishment. That's what I call success in gambling. They succeeded in entertaining us.
