Is that because you manage to get in:D On a serious note, I have watched my mother inlaw over the past 7 years blow her life savings after her seperation, This included about $200,000 in australia in a 3 year period from the proceeds of her share of the marital home. And since returning to NZ, every spare cent she earns. Thankfully for my partners sake she has pulled her head in over the last 6months.	plod (107)

I have been on a course in Akl and the morning after breakfast, on the way to the course, had $1 left (after buying the paper). Dropped it in a pokie (had no pockets to put it (the $) in), pressed the button and walked on. Guy called me back "Sir sir come back, you won""Won what!!" (me pretty peeved off, what's he on about). "The jackpot sir". They paid out a cool $830. Last year, the same happened in our local Workmen's Club, and I got $430 from $1. Never did it before, have no inclination to do it again. sarel	sarel (2490)

People with gambling addictions must be real dumb people because the odds or chance of you winning are stacked in the casinos favour. You cant bet the odds again and again its mathmatics you will lose. Until that fact is drilled into their heads they are on a lose lose spiral downhill. Perhaps a good slapping would help, I dont really know maybe their brain is different to normal people. I have never had a win in over 30 years of occasional gambling including horse racing.
