Compulsive Gambling, Problem Gambling, Gambling Addiction
www.gamblinghelper.com “Whether it’s in a casino or online, poker and other games of chance are becoming increasingly popular. It’s not just men who are addicted, a growing number of women are becoming compulsive gamblers, too. Early Show correspondent Hattie Kauffman takes a closer look at the troubling trend,” news anchor. “The reality is the longer you gamble compulsively, which is what I was doing, the more you become a compulsive liar,” Melanie Morgan, former gambling addict. “In the 1980s Melanie Morgan was a successful television anchor until her gambling addiction cost her, her job and nearly destroyed her marriage,” Hattie Kauffman, CBS national correspondent. “I would lie about where I was going, what I was doing, who I was with, how much money I was spending,” Melanie Morgan. “Even her pregnancy did not stop Melanie from gambling,” Hattie Kauffman. “Of course I was in a terrible environment, smoke-filled rooms, hardly taking care of myself. I was gambling until an hour before I gave birth,” Melanie Morgan. “After her son was born, she often left the infant with an assortment of babysitters,” Kauffman. “I remember packing up the baby one day and driving around to each of the card rooms where I thought she might be and finally locating her and taking the baby in its carrier and putting the baby in the middle of the poker table and saying, ‘You got a choice. You want to play cards or you want to be a Mom?’” Jack Morgan, Melanie’s husband. “I knew at that point I …

@prokopton Poker isn’t a regular casino game, because that’s a game where you CAN shift the odds in your favor through skill – namely bluffing. Some actually consider it a healthy game to play, as it can help you bullshit people in daily life.
Standard casino games like roulette and blackjack are indeed based on chance. It is very difficult to find a “system” to shift the odds in your favor, and if the casino senses you have a working system, they can kick you out.
By the way, further to my comments below, I am not singling out ‘Bet 365′, just gambling in general. I don’t have any expertise in suggesting a 100% valid solution to the serious nature of this type of addiction, but many of us have seen evidence of the sadness it causes. My family spend around £96.00 per year on the National Lottery, but that’s as far as it goes for us. For those who are trying to stop gambling, I wish you the best of luck. Stay strong, and you’ll get there.
A gambling ad in the UK from ‘Bet 365′, talks about the flexibility of its ‘in-game’ gambling, where you can bet on the number of goals, who will score etc. It’s motto is, ‘It’s all about the in-play’.
The sad truth is it could be all about losing your house, your family, your self respect and your job. I have seen a few friends fall foul of gambling, so maybe If you can’t stop, only bet a certain amount each month which you can afford to lose without affecting your livelihood.
“If you find self-reform too hard
In spite of your intense desire
For lack of firmness to discard
The habits that stink of the mire,
There is no reason to despair,
Try what you can time and again,
Beseech your Maker to repair
The faults and you in strength will gain.”

if poker is NOT a game of chance, wouldnt the best experienced players have an edge against the house?
YOu never win at gambling except u only want to win only $25 that is all.
If not quit gambling as you will never win.
Gambling is for people who can lose and be happy cause they have lots of money to throw away.

I’m hooked on poker…. It’s prety much all I think about all day, every day. Even when I’m about to wake up, you know that half asleep half awake feeling, im thinking about it.
It is easy to point finger at people but those who do it know that it is hard to come out of a habit that shows the potential of winning big instead of showing the damage that it could do to one individual. But the problem does not start overnight it builds gradually so i will urge everyone who do gamble to watch your behaviour. If you start seeing a change act on at quick dont delay.

….. Sadly, the majority will lose that is why gambling industry is still alive. Think about it as a lottery where few people win.
If u are not gambler-type, don’t force it upon yourself, thats what people do, by looking up to successful gamblers. Ultimately the cause of problem gambling.
If u are not the type to handle, manage risk and good decision making, then gambling is not for you. Gambling is same as stock speculation, successful ones have clutch decision making. The only way to get a fortune from it is to win big and lose less. When is the time to go big? Its intutitive coupled with experience. I have a few friends that become millionaire from gambling all exhibit this personality.
It’s a very thin line between “addiction” and “entertainment”
I make about 3000$ a month, spend about 300$ on scratch tickets and casino. If I never win, that’s it for this month, if I win then I would use the money for something good (not waste it all on gambling).
On April 09 I hit 1750$ in the casino, I used them to pay my property tax and gave some to our local Church. On July 09 I hit 730$ I put new tires on my car.
Know your limits, play within it.
poker isn’t a fun game.
