Hi Guys,
Funny how things change. When I was at my brothers house he told me about a conversation he had just had with my mom. I have a cousin who is a "professional" poker player. He is a Mensa member (genuis) so maybe he has a edge? (Doubtful, when you have to rely on the turn of a card!) Well I guess he won a tournment, a big pot. Instead of getting excited about his "win" I said out loud "Gee, wonder what it really cost him to win it?" Even my brother, who doesn’t know about my "problem" said it was funny how gamblers never talked about their losses. I chuckled to myself-no truer words ever spoken-because as gamblers it is just our "cost of doing business". What a cost! Financial, emotional, physical. Insanity? You can say that again. We keep chasing and chasing our losses, making them multiply in leaps and bounds.
Few behaviours are more insane than that.
peace
