in russia the goverment maid gambaling illegal, not all gambaling just casinos.. all the casionos where shut down over night.. i think that should be done all over the world.
I'm a compulsive gambler and can tell you that it' not that complicated. Most people gamble because of the lure of money. The action is fun and a lot of compulsive gamblers need it, but it;s the lure of hitting it big that keeps them coming back. Every gambler has a dream of that one big run where they can make enough money to do what they want, have some security, etc. Gambling is one of the few activities that presents that. The only problem is that you can wait a lifetime for it to happen.
@danteras23 If you are a compulsive gambler( like me ) the big win becomes "NEVER ENOUGH". If you hit 5000, your mind set becomes I can win 10,000, and so on. Whatever you win will never be enough..
@melvinpoopoo1 I agree, but if you gamble enough you realize that that;s dangerous thinking and you're going to lose if you think that way. I love to gamble and I've realized that it's really the action as much as the money, so I don't think that way anymore. You have to take whatever you can get if you're going to ganble and not always think that way. It's nice to hit it big, but if you always think that way you're going to go down in flames.
Variable reinforcement...you don't know when you will get that "pay off"...can't predict the pattern.....you are taught if you just hang in there, you will get the feedback eventually-----people can do this to others too-----they give you feedback and then they don't contact you and then they give you feedback----just to keep you holding on-----
