For USA citizens? They're own government/DOJ/religious fanaticism.
Or whoever is pulling their strings.

greed. people can win at gambling, but greed ends up leaving them broke. if you're disciplined and don't want everything you can succeed.

Agree with what a couple have stated, GREED.

Have seen many good to great gamblers fall ruin to this and thus could not be considered good gamblers anymore.........if your successful now, don't allow this to take you down.

Being able to find an edge.

Greed and discipline are completely true but if you cant find an edge to how you select your plays nothing else matters.

I would be willing to say that 90% (probably higher) of the players do not have an edge in the longrun when making their selections.

There is a big difference between finding an edge and having an edge!

Yep.

There are also those who can't resist betting on that week's big TV game (Sunday night, Monday night, Thurs night etc) even if they don't particularly like a side.
