Hi. I am new here so please bear with me as I am just looking and learning my way around but the post this is in reply to really caught my attention. So, I hope no one minds that I begin my venture on this website by chiming in right here. The post makes a good point about gambling not always having to involve monetary gain or as I know it better only all too often loss and makes absolute sense to me. That as far as gambling goes, It Is What It Is but to completely quit gambling does this mean for example that one should never ever in a lifetime play a game like Yahtzee that uses dice to make Poker hands for scoring or if having played Yahtzee to never play another game ever? I ask this because my first game of Yahtzee goes way back to my youth in the 70’s and that eventually my sister and I started playing the game for a quarter. I am now concerned that innocent childhood games may not be so innocent after all and with my own children and now 6 grandchildren I most certainly do not want to lead them onto the same path of gambling I have had the entirety of my adult life that started with my 1st games of Old Maid for candy or Yahtzee for a quarter. smh just makes me realize what I was exposed to as a kid and if I only knew then what I know now I would have most certainly taken an entirely different approach to so-called innocent childhood game playing fun! Thanks in advance for reading this post reply and any feed back is appreciated.
