You clearly have no understanding of addiction. Thankfully not everyone in the world is as ignorant as you. :roll:


Myself and polo discussed this the other day, im in a perfect position to understand addiction, being an ex addict myself although mine was drugs and not gambling, so do not think me as ignorant when i have more experience with addiction in my little toe than you will ever have.


Probably the reason you beat it mate because you accepted it was YOUR problem.

Thats the problem with society the nanny culture have got into peoples heads that someonelsevus always to blame.

People will never get well if they can heap their problems onto someonelses doorstep.

At least in chops interview he accepts this.

Gambling is only a problem if you lose :?:

Not the case mr rythmn.....a gambler is never satisfied no matter how much he/she wins. And as we all know if you stick your head through any bookies door, you will usually see 2 paying in windows and 1 paying out and the bird on the paying out bored shitless filing her nails.


That just proves that there are more losers than winners .....................

My cousin was a gambler and nearly lost it all, he became involved by picking our granny's horses for her 5p yankee back in the day.

He was facing bankruptcy and she felt responsible for this so she remortaged her house to help him on the promise that he never gambled again.

he didnt' keep the promise and eventually managed to win enough to pay her back and see him and his family live comfortably for the rest of his days.

He fif learn and now disciplines himself to certain bet limits and coasts along quite succesfully.

I can't see a problem in that.

But if he'd lost........................

Bet a few professional gamblers in my life. They did not look hard done by. Infact were quite well off.

Interesting talking to them and finding out how they went about their business. Even though they sound impressive I left still thinking there is still a bit of luck in it.

and witnessed him lose thousands of pounds on roulette in the casino
