    How Has Gambling Negatively Affected Your Overall Health and Social Life?
    How many of you are aging faster? Losing hair? Going gray? Gaining weight? Divorced? Burried? Crazy?

              Feeling sharp as ever. In a really good spot. Really does improve your people skills, in particular analysis of individuals.

                  Retardation is the skill you seem to have learned.

                  You don't actually believe what you wrote, do you?

                  You sound like one of those young poker players who think they learn social skills from a computer screen

                    going gray in my early 20's sounds about right.

                      We are just waiting to die. Does it really matter what you do while waiting. Breathe. Copulate. Eat. Defecate. Sleep. Gamble. Smoke. Dream. Love.

                      In the end--you die. Existence is meaningless.

                      I advocate having as much fun as possible while you wait.

                              Stop lying, everyone in here saying they got none. Guaranteed, more than half of you are fat. Been gambling for 20 years and about 5 out of 6 people I know who gamble are fat bastards. Almost all are broke. About half on their 2nd, some third, marriage. I mean, come on...who you fooling?

                                  look i am a skinny black man and i look young for my age.


                                  however i see middle aged fat men with hot chicks all the time.

                                  I think in a field like car sales fat men are given more respect.

                                  walk around a country club almost every single member of a country club is fat.

                                          I gamble in moderation, and I do Labouchere style betting, which is smaller bets and too boring for most people. So it doesn't really affect me negatively at all. Almost no anxiety comes from it, and I'm pretty healthy.

                                          It does keep me on top of sports and wagering, which is a good skillset to have when talking to everyday people in Vegas. And it makes me interested in games I'd usually never give a shit about. So I'd say overall positive.

                                              Most gamblers broke

                                              rarely see successful people gamble other than maybe a few times a year for fun

                                                  Dead on.

                                                  Good thing for Vegas is there's an endless cycle of degens, drug-dealers, and rich kids to keep their sportsbooks cranking forever.

                                                    It does keep me on top of sports and wagering, which is a good skillset to have when talking to everyday people in Vegas. And it makes me interested in games I'd usually never give a shit about. So I'd say overall positive.

                                                          gambling was the best thing that's ever happened to me. i was someone who didn't put very much thought into things. that all changed after poker. really changed after chess and football.

                                                          i credit gambling with spurring my intellectual revolution. of course, there is a dark-side but i've been able to balance that. gambling has given me freedom.

                                                            most people bald as they age. most americans are fat. most americans are brokedikks. most gamblers lose.

                                                            how is this so hard to believe?
