Some of these are pretty silly… I know guys who gamble once a year who would answer yes to at least 5 of these. I am pretty sure they don't have a problem gambling once a year.

Hey Bet,

This seemed like possibly an interesting and harmless thread.

But...... so far three guys have shown to be in need of an institution!

Do you ever feel remorse after you gamble? if I lose 2k, I'm pissed by bank account is lighter and I want to put it back ASAP (by earning it :)). I guess that's remorse, I hate losing

Do you gamble until your last dollar is gone? if they're asking about the money I brought with me, then yes. If they're asking about the last dollar in my name, absolutely not

Do you ever gamble longer than expected? yes, like every time I go to the casino with my friends

Late senior year and for about 2 years after that I was addicted to online poker. Sometimes going all night. Lost tens of thousands. But for some reason I can't get in to online poker anymore. Omaha is kind of fun but that's about it. Love playing holdem in person though. Now my biggest vice is college football. I'm addicted to that, not going to lie.
