Gambling addiction hotlines say volume is up and callers are younger as online sports

[mjsuax13]

It all came crashing down for me a few weeks ago. The wife found out I have some cc debt that is primarily from betting sports. Worst part is she asked me if I had any before we got married and I flat lied to her and said I would never do that. I've been to a couple meetings since she found out and haven't bet, nor even had the itch to since. Not sure why I'm sharing this here, but nothing can be worse than feeling the shame of your wife finding out that you're a degenerate gambler.

She already knew pal. Just thought you were a winning degen. That’s what you told her before anyway.

Depends on how much profit and whether one can pay his bills and then save and invest for future while doing it, and also have a healthy family and social life at the same time.

1% of 1% of 1% can do this.

.001.

Well said. Most can’t do the latter even without gambling so once you throw gambling in forget about it!

Younger generation is so lost. No accountability. Looking for bailouts.

[TheGoldenGoose]

Yup. No accountability whatsoever.

When you normalize and legalize things that are potentially addictive, you get more addicts. Who knew?

It will be back. These people in office love the drugged out votes.

Is it an addiction if gambling is profitable for you?

Is an addicted functioning alcoholic an alcoholic?

Legalize more DRUGS!

Greatest tool of the super-evil is make it illegal.

Nixon/nancyboy ron's war on drugs a monumental failure.

Though it did make the USA #1 in prison population. Land of the free, home of the brave.

NIMBY - Not in My Back Yard

Which is why I do not want casinos and marijuana houses in my city. Don't want a liquor store on my block. Too many irresponsible people with little self control. Call me a prude but keep that shit in Vegas. Really don't want easy access to guns either but that cat is already out of the bag.

Guns kill more people than casinos, weed and liquor***. Don't worry, the R are against all bad habits except guns.

out Mac. I'm 100% against advertising gambling and prescription drugs.

*** Short term, in THE long run hard liquor is dangerous stuff.

There is still a market for local and off shore books. It’s just a different level of degeneracy.
