I used to be very close to a person who was, and probably still is a gambling addict, and I'm pretty sure that he lied a lot, at least about money. I also rather suspect that he swiped my China, and hocked it for money for his bullshit poker! 🧐
I definitely tend to be wary of gamblers. I see money as being for spending on needs, and wants, as well as for saving for the future, but not for playing with. Whenever I see someone lose money on gambling I just naturally think of all the better things that money could buy.
On a certain level I kinda see gambling as immoral. When people gamble with with other people if they win it's at the expense of some other moron. When people gamble in big casinos they usually lose, because the odds are always in favor of the house. Those big, fancy Las Vegas casinos aren't built on winners. The so called gaming industry with regard to gambling is a very parasitic thing; it makes the rich richer, and the poor poorer.
Has anyone ever met..

Sorry for the rant.
