I am all too familiar with gambling addiction. Actually did some public speaking on the subject. Gambling can be a choice, at first, then it can becomes an addiction were the power to choose is gone. Compare it to a crack addict. The addict started off with a choice, but now has no choice. An gambling addict does not have the ability to choose not to gamble. So to say to a gambling addict just stop gambling doesn’t wash.
I view gambling as entertainment only. Anyone who thinks otherwise has a problem. If my site ever gets finished I am devoting at least two pages on gambling addiction. I do not find comfort in the thought my site could be destroying people lives. Money always comes second to me. greek39
