  • Mike great lecture. Tried to get my pathological gambling friend to watched but he decided to get drunk!

  • its too rude to watch this video for free

  • Awesome prof. Highly recommend him for his extremely fluid lectures.

  • i wish i could play online right now... but nooo ... legislators say it's wrong.... a-holes..

  • the one i saw was a life saving on red and lost

  • started with £500 and in two hours made 120,750 thousand. check my video for proof, search how i won rrsys

  • i think the lecturer got paid from the gambling industry to show the danger less harmfull

  • continuation... The entire system is based on this disease of the ego , and is supporting its boosting . What I mean with that is that everytime you try to prove that you are better than other people , you ll constantly be in a conflict with this world. If you try to isolate one form of disease and neglect all the rest, you will achieve nothing really , and your words will be pointless. Try to understand this disease , because in reality , every form of this disease is an illusion .

  • This psychology is true also for cigarette smoking , alchocol and other addictions.. But, if you are to follow couragesly this thinking , its true also for sex addiction , money addiction (constantly wanting more money --> bankers), power addiction , food addiction(obesity), talking addiction (the need to be right all the time). This is all aspects of the ego , which constantly need more, and everyone is a least in one of these addictions, in one way or another. So , this is why noone changes.
