A billion is all the combined losses, this is mis-leading. If I start with 50 dollars and win and lose 50 dollars ten times I don't say I lost 500 dollars, I only lost 50 but that is what this stupid retarded misleading article is doing

gamblers are all idiots.

one addiction i could never understand.

drugs like coke and heroin, yeah i understand the mechanism, but gambling?

is the root insecurity and they want appear "big businessmen" who got money to throw away to impress some audience?

i dont get it

I don't see it so much as an addiction as I do being fucking retarded. If you're not good at it, it's probably in your best interest to stop.

that has to be the case. otherwise impossible.   

i was always an honest gambler.   if i took ten grand to the casino, and won five thousand ten times before i went home broke; i would say i lost ten grand, not the 60 grand some would claim.

if you were able to make one million dollars worth of bets with that ten grand I would be impressed.

never really kept track, but always left broke ;D

last time in vegas, i won 21000.00 in one hit.  they taxed me 6500.00 on the spot as a canadian.    the rest was all gone before i hit the airport two days later.

the good news is, i am applying to get the taxed portion returned to me, so i'll at least have 6500.00 from it.   and i seem to have gotten a grip on the habit, so i won't blow it the day it arrives.
