I watched a video years ago, may have been like 2012 or something. It went into detail about how apps and mobile gaming changed to be more addictive through gambling simulation. I never got on board with mobile gaming but I see how it affects people, especially kids. They are setting these children up to have a careless future of struggle and debt!It’s even in video games.

Same here. My Nana has a horrid gambling problem. She lost all her retirement funds and has to work as a 80 years old woman. Put it like this she had her own trucking business. All of the money she set aside was gone in a few years.Damn I feel for the guy. This is a big reason why I don't like to gamble. I have family and friends who have been addicted to gambling in the past and it tears lives apart. A friend of mine got divorced because his wife was gambling a lot of their money away, and only found out about it when he started to lose money.
I get why people do it too, it's that high of the unlikely happening. That chance of winning big and not having to worry. Yet some people don't know how to limit themselves with gambling and the next thing they know, they're completely broke.
If I ever go to the casino, I never bring a lot of cash with me. It's usually a select amount that I'm willing to bet away and if I win anything big, I keep it. I don't spend anything else. If I win a few dollars here or there I may use it to gamble some more, but once I'm out of the budget I set aside, I call it quits.
Ohhhhh hell nah family members like this are the worst because they be wanting you help when they hit rock bottom. You end up feeling guilty when you see they ass struggling and you not helping but then you gotta remind yo self that it was they own doing. It’s not on us to bail out people who screwed off they shit.Same here. My Nana has a horrid gambling problem. She lost all her retirement funds and has to work as a 80 years old woman.

When I did gamble, I spent $100, never went over & hit $2,100 once & $600 after that, just by playing slots that actually pay! 🤑🤑🤑🤑Same here. My Nana has a horrid gambling problem.

It's from the works of the Russian neuroscientist Ivan Pavlov, who trained a dog to salivate at the sound of a bell. Now they use it in everything– hear that *Bing! from your phone notifications? lol I wonder what it will evolve to next...I watched a video years ago, may have been like 2012 or something.

It’s going to be a chip implanted into your brain that doesn’t even have to ding it just inserts the data inside your head.

This is the main reason I do not trust that Elon Musk. Not his money or his influence but what he is creating. You know even if he doesn't intend on using it against people, the governments of the world WILL use it against us!It’s going to be a chip implanted into your brain that doesn’t even have to ding it just inserts the data inside your head.

He needs some help with his addiction wow.View: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CiYV1bMJxsK/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
It‘s so sad my sisters gambles a lot and I’ve seen her go through similar. I can’t imagine the stress of having spent everything and having to go back to your family broke.
Me too! Losing everything like that is horribleI would cry too!
I only spend a certain amount and nothing more. I refuse to use an ATM at a casino. When I've lost my money, I stop. I have never borrowed extra either. I would hate to go back to those I want to be around broke. I am sorry this happened to your sister.View: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CiYV1bMJxsK/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

You sound like you have an opportunity for him.He is on his back with his shoes off screaming in agony. It appears he would do ANYTHING to get his money back. Smh.

Yep. I know of a funeral home man co-owner who gambled the WHOLE BUSINESS BANK ACCOUNT AWAY. The sister co-owner had to go into debt to get the money to keep the funeral home.Me too! Losing everything like that is horrible
I remember seeing this. They have made a country of addicts. Mobile gaming addicts. Drinking addicts. Smoking addicts. Casino gambling addict.I watched a video years ago, may have been like 2012 or something.

Agree that it is to control you and excite you. I love the casino. I do have a lot of self control. I have never exceeded my budget at the casino. I have self control.That’s horrible and he needs help. There’s no telling what he put himself and his family through by gambling. The first time I gambled and I saw those lights and sounds I knew I would gets hooked. It’s made to control you and excite you.
Noooo thanks.
It’s a sickness. I don’t understand it.Yep. I know of a funeral home man co-owner who gambled the WHOLE BUSINESS BANK ACCOUNT AWAY. The sister co-owner had to go into debt to get the money to keep the funeral home.
I don't like playing the Wheel of Fortune machines. They are the ones that have the least chance of hitting, but when they do, a person wins BIG!When I did gamble, I spent $100, never went over & hit $2,100 once & $600 after that, just by playing slots that actually pay! 🤑🤑🤑🤑
It's a high these cats be getting a rush off the chance of winning.It’s a sickness. I don’t understand it.
Implantable chips will be everywhere, and some folks will willingly get it when they stop sending in the trucks to the stores.It’s going to be a chip implanted into your brain that doesn’t even have to ding it just inserts the data inside your head. Scary.
It is crazy too because prior to them peddling all these microtransactions and loot boxes in app games, the creator of that one app Flappy Bird regretted it because of how addictive it became.I remember seeing this.

I forgot all about Flappy Bird, but I did remember when it came out.It is crazy too because prior to them peddling all these microtransactions and loot boxes in app games, the creator of that one app Flappy Bird regretted it because of how addictive it became.
Yep. They want that big lick. Spend it on bills or something they want. Almost never a real investment they have been strategically planning. Then, desperate for the next big lick which never comes. Just for the record, I do go to the casino. I have a fixed amount of money and never use the ATM. I leave when my money is gone.It's a high these cats be getting a rush off the chance of winning.
Those guys care less about how you progress. They just believe that they are making money by opening up more gambling sites. I stopped gambling a while ago because I was not making any profit out of it.Gambling addiction is a huge problem and I know they want to make it more wide-spread in America with online casinos. I heard NYC plans on opening a big one. That has bad news written all over it. Gambling addictions are no joke. My father's friend lost everything because of his addiction.
Great points. I like going in person since I do better. My money runs out so fast online.Those guys care less about how you progress. They just believe that they are making money by opening up more gambling sites. I stopped gambling a while ago because I was not making any profit out of it.
None was good to me. As long as you can be able to control how much you spend, then it is great.Great points. I like going in person since I do better. My money runs out so fast online.

Very few people do. I used to watch gambling streamers on Twitch. The way the casinos work in Europe are WAY different than in the US. Like you can actually win good money with small bets. It is still just as much a risk but they aren't robbing people as much and there is no tax.Those guys care less about how you progress.

Funny you should mention Twitch... One of the latest scandals in the Twitch world.I used to watch gambling streamers on Twitch.
I find it funny they will ban gambling streamers but let thots go about their mary business. I guess those ladies of the e-night have some privileges the rest of the platform does not. I know in recent months, there was a woman having sex on stream, suspended one week for that. Then you have a dude who plays games getting permanently banned over naughty words.Funny you should mention Twitch... One of the latest scandals in the Twitch world.

Places like Vegas are so terrible if you like gambling. I saw video poker machines at the damn gas station you cannot escape it. You can even get your check cashed at the casino and they'll do it for free. Shit is predatory.It’s sad. I know a family of gamblers and one of the siblings lost their family house in San Francisco using up the equity and it went in foreclosure. I wonder how much that brotha lost in that video? It had to be large.

Yeah it is. I think the way they do gambling in the states, it ends up benefitting the state more than the players. It is basically robbery, but they make it fun and addictive.Interesting.
Accurate statementYeah it is. I think the way they do gambling in the states, it ends up benefitting the state more than the players. It is basically robbery, but they make it fun and addictive.
