4. Its almost always a losing bet. That's how gambling co. make their money. So simple but just ignored by so many

The house always wins. In the end. Anyone can get addicted to it. Small wins "prove" you can win more. And any bigger win just confirms your habit is not hurting, but helping you. So you keep going.

My brother went bankrupt and lost his house. He and his wife rent a small apartment and always will be renters now. Its an awful scourge on society. We have top athletes in commercials promoting this social disease.

But you know.....freedom! (for gambling companies)
