Hi Vera,
Thanks for the reply. I always gambled with the intent to “win” money, I never believed it was for the thrill…..But there were too many times where on the drive home, after I had been up $1000 …and then lost it all back, where my inner dialogue would be “how much was enough” what was I trying to do? If you make a good investment and make 10% in a year, a financial adviser would say you did great…. If you go to a casino with $200 and turn it into $1000, it is a phenomenal return…..A “good gambler” or should I say “not a CG” would say…Hey alright $1000 . I will go home, and come back another day to play again…. I always said “hey, I am here, why not keep going”.
Obviously that thought process is a big part of my reason I spend hours a day on GT.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts… we are all in this together!
