... I am still amazed that people gamble when it is proven the house always wins.
Obsessions are like that
Sex, Gambling, Drugs, Alcohol, etc...

In my personal experience, gambling is more addictive than booze. My friends who gamble obsess over it. It gives them a high during games they otherwise have no interest in. I have no experience with drugs so I can't say.
I have seen many fights between friends and their wives over gambling away the rent money. I like playing blackjack but I can't bet on sports. Too difficult.
