Gambling has a price tag.

For me, FG, every gambling trip has a price tag. I ALWAYS lose all my money in one foul swoop, hence my immediate halt. In the aftermath of gambling (always loss) , I torture myself by reliving the experience and wonder if the outcome would have been different if I had staged my tactics differently. That briefs me for the next run, when I try my “different tactics” only to find it all ends the same way. It always end the same. Then, to add insult to injury, in between “episodes” my mind , as it recovers from the recent trauma, becomes overwhelmed with planning my next trip, my next loan , my next gamble, which, each time, I plan to implement with a new strategy i.e. smaller bets, bigger wins and a quick exit as soon as I have a bagful of money. Does it ever happen that way, FG?
NO!
It ALWAYS ends in misery and in between each miserable outing, a CG loses his/her peace of mind.
Peace f mind is the most valuable thing that gambling robs from a CG.
I smiled when I read about your co workers “Win”! I wonder where will that end up and how much it cost her!
You really think this person ALWAYS wins?
I seriously doubt if she ever “boasts” about her losses.
CGs NEVER win, FG.
You and I know that, based on past experience.
See you later in Charles’Group if you’re around.
