I always wonder - what goes on at those Gambler's Anonymous meetings, or when you call the phone numbers on the back of wager tickets?
Are they like MAN DON'T TAKE DUKE IT'S NOT A LOCK!!! Do you all sit in a circle and talk about your biggest losses? How does that make me not want to gamble?
I've done some thinking, and looked back at my records. Overall, I think I'm up lifetime gambling on wagers I place when sober. BUT I'm definitely down if you factor in the drunk wagers (I put a dime on Brazil in the last world cup, and I don't even anything about soccer) and online casino losses (don't even get me started on that topic).
So I don't think I have a gambling problem, and I don't think I have a drinking problem, but I DEFINITELY have a drunk gambling problem! Where's the support group for that?!?! :think2:

Dude, for those that want to stop gambling, GA is a good place to start. IT will help but that person needs to change his or her life totally. No gambling friends, no lotto, no raffles, no sports reading etc. Bt one needs to want to stop. GA doesn't cure you it just helps with your addiction. Go to a meeting and sit in and listen to some of the stories that they tell. One guy put his kid through the TV because he walked in front of it while he was losing a ton of money. Another guy got 300,000$ for his wife's life saving surgery, what did he do, pissed it away gambling and guess what his wife died cause she didn't get the surgery needed in time. Just go and listen to some of the stories, you'd be amazed.
During the 2005 NCAA tournament, there were a series of ads telling people "Don't Bet On It". While in Vegas there would be periods when only one feed would be shown since there was only one game taking place at the time. Seeing the phrase, "Don't Bet On It" on every screen, and monitor in the sportsbook was funny to say the least.
just curious as to why the RX does not have a G.A. link at the bottom
