@SniperViper1000 i guess you’re right.
@CRAZYCRADER A spending limit? What if i’m a billionaire? Maybe I want to spend 125k on gambling but I can’t because your making people suffer.
Unless you mean percentage wise then what ever.
@grenda5 Casinoes don’t now if they have an addiction or not.
don’t blame a building for someone’s fuck up.

bad stereotypes gamblers have had through the years!

you have no clue, this is a sickness and the casino took advantage of her sickness, that is a shame and you have no idea what your’e saying rookie, i hope you never have to understand this the hard way..
@Octhellio
I agree if she won she would have been celebrating and enjoying it thats the risk you take when you gamble either you win or lose you just need to know your limit she didnt so she is screwed
Would she have sued the casino if she had won $300.000 that night? No.
She’s not upset that the casino allowed her to play, she’s just upset that she was dumb enough to lose all her money and now she want’s to get it back any way she can.
Soo many people are overcoming all kinds of addictions each day, nothing’s stopping her from joining a support group and at least try to deal with her problem.
I don’t really understand why they are blaming the casino. Say they did ban her without her concent, now you got a whole new issue of who to ban and who not to ban. The ban can only be taken by the person who want’s to ban themselves and that’s the way it should be. I would be pissed off if they banned me without my consent and if they could ban others where would the line be. This woman is just trying to make one last bet to get her money back.
I just don’t understand the concept of addiction… I mean stuff like drugs I can kinda feel bad for, but c’mon, gambling? Desn’t she have any self control? Or shame? blaming the fucking casino, that’s like obese people blaming mcdonalds for making them fat, geez… were fucking doomed!!!
The casino will also show that they offered better comps to players who lost less!
It’s the camel’s nose under the tent and slippery slope argument. Is there a number above or below which her behavior is not addictive and reckless?
Is there a number at which the casino’s behavior is just good marketing?
This bitch will lose in the state Supreme Court, easy.
If you can’t afford to lose the money once you get there, then you should not go into a casino in the first place.
I agree to a certain extent about what you said about quitting when you want. I do NOT agree with you calling Americans stupid! Just because one person is a dimwitted dingbat, doesn’t mean ALL people from that country are! You’d probably scream about it if someone said that about your country…..
Thanks for being honest and admitting that and being adult about it. Too bad people like this woman can’t be the same way!!!!!!
Ridiculous!!! Yes she may be addicted but there’s still free will. If she’d really wanted to avoid going she could have found a way to turn down all enticements and not go there. But she chose to continue wasting her money! I’ll bet you bucks to broncos she loses.
As someone who works in marketing, and has casinos as clients, yes, there are a lot of things that the casino does to get you inthe door. Even things to make you feel “lucky” HOWEVER, if she had WON 125K, would she have given it back, and asked that they ban her? Doubt it. If she gets her 125K back, it will probably be gone shortly after.
sad isnt it, everyone wants blame someone else
People can’t take responsibility of themselves anymore.
Is there a thing such as an adult in society anymore?
What an ugly dog she is!
manipultion…..
I don’t know about that, man. For $125,000 you can buy enough heroin to get blasted for damned near a whole year.
Heroin is cheaper
Those Casinos dont care how much you lost and gambing is one of the worst addiction you can have that why they need to put a spending limit or a loss limit like a lot of casinos have in many states and I never ever seen any good come from gambling ever they should make it illegal!!!
Here is the cure for compulsive gambling: Play continuously till you lose everything!!
The Casino actually just helped her kick the habit by becoming broke. That’ll teach her a lesson.
LMAO! If she won could they get their money back cuz if so we all better watch out.
fake and gay
