RE: "Life Problems" | Gambling & How To Stop It

in #money7 years ago (edited)

I experienced the same! And with a casino only 6 minutes from home, it was hard! Especially when you do win big. The Casino, they drag you in by offering free hotel rooms, free events. extra money to gamble with. I still struggle not to go in there. The thought of the money I lost that could have been used for the better still upsets me to this day! Great post and best wishes ro all those with this struggle!

That's the thing about casinos, as you said they offer you the "extra stuff" to make you gamble even more. It's really a dick move but they earn incredible amounts of money because of this. And i could imagine, living that close to a casino must be hard when you're trying to resist. And yes, sometimes you win really big and that's what makes you come back even tho you loose it all.
