    I work at a casino so maybe im biased, but at least at a casino you have a nice ambiance(usually) and see the faces of the people you support with your patronage. The workers try to give you the best experience possible to get you to come back, if you aren't happy, why would you go back? Online gambing sucks cuz theres almost zero interactions with others and even less incentive to keep going like cheaper drinks, gas, rooms, or compensations. Say what you will about casinos, but compared to online gambing its leagues better

    i also am glad i am dog shit at gambling or else i would 1000% be in this predicament. i did not make the smart choice of smoking 2 cigarettes back to back when i tried which led me to smoke for 10 years after. i'm happy to report i'm 4 years smoke free now however that decade was definitely a poor investment

    I had to step away from gacha games as a whole because I’d gamble just to get the high of a 5 star or legendary character

    in hindsight i think im even more pissed about how much money i spent because IT WASN’T TO WIN MONEY IT WAS TO GET CHARACTERS WHO WOULD LATER FALL OFF IN THE META

    Please do yourself and the world a huge favor: share this video with anyone and everyone you know or don't know, who has a birthday coming up in the next 12 months.

    I share this joking but not joking, our survival now depends on it. This video brilliantly adds a touch of hilarious direct jabs at our lack of sound thinking and reasoning, while simultaneously stirring up a righteous deep down anger and disgust,…. a disgust that either they have been, or are currently being duped, or that another human being period is being duped. I find myself angry for that person on the other side of the country who I don't even know! Please understand, I 110% believe in personal responsibility, but this is exploiting evil. This video communicates the message in a way many people will actually fully get it.

    I say let's all get super pissed off 😤 together.

    Being real, my dad is a gambling addict and we went back and forth from having some money to needing to visit food banks. The lure of online gambling to adults but also children will always trigger me with how they don't know what they are entering into.. and don't get me started on the now AI gambling ads, just terrible.

    I work as a district manager for a gas station chain. Saw a regular lose 400 on scratchoff tickets then have a mental breakdown as he realized he wasn't going to make rent and his family would be evicted. He was begging everyone who came in for money. I had to call the police to remove him and place a no trespassing order. His crying still haunts me. I wish I was allowed to just cut them off. I tried once and the gambler reported me to corporate and they told me i would be fired if I did it again. Gambling is a cancer on society

    I had a friend who made 2-4K a month with sports betting but that guy was an expert, like he spend 6-8 hours analyzing learning etc and there were still months where he lost or won nothing. Basically a full time job with the possibility of not being paid.

    It’s been over a year. Where is the update about how you’ve had to sell your car, rent out your house to strangers and go into hiding because you took a loan from the Cuban mafia to fund your gambling habit.. because you accidentally got hooked from making this video?
