Take it from someone who spent 11 years gambling...OP is 100% correct in every post he makes in this thread. Been 4 years now since I placed a bet.

Even when I had stretches when I'd win and cash out...I'd never buy anything with the winnings...know many others who'd never buy anything with the winnings either.

Gambling money has no home.
