Usually those users here saying that they will be able to manage themselves when they gamble are not originally all of them are gamblers. Others are just mimicking that they are really do in gambling and just wanted to particilate in the discussion. Many of the users here like that so there is no surprise to read a comment like that.
Anyway, gambler or not could still contribute a lot in participating discussions. Thus somehow broaden the minds of gambler when they do gambling.
Oh, I understand that many people here are just bragging about their ability to be patient. They do this because we can never really know if they can be patient or not. However, if you watch the same poker competitions there often people are not only patient, but also sit with stone faces so as not to show what cards they have.
I once saw a player in slots, the guards had to take him out of the hall because he started swearing loudly and hitting the machine at which he was playing. He was furious.
