Bet $35K to win $1000? I wonder whose money it was.

Chronic gamblers are nuts. They are worse than drug addicts. Drug addicts usually off themselves in a few years. It’s sad, but at least the agony for the family is over. But gamblers go on for decades, ruining the lives about them. I’ve known several. I’d sooner try to be friends with a scorpion.

actually, i think the suicide rate for chronic gamblers is even higher than drug addicts because kicking gambling for a lifetime is much more difficult than kicking drug addiction ...
