So, please stop defending those who are in the gambling business, as you sure know that they feed off of our money, our lives, and our happiness. Please tell me how many times have you or someone you know got stiffed, got his money stolen for no legit reason, or got his life ruined because of a crook manager's decision, or even because of losing big chunks chasing losses. If it didn't happen to you, you know how many times it does happen to many players here everyday just reading these forums.
Not only you said that we are denied simple freedoms of commerce exercised by other citizens which I wouldn't consider to be that big of a loss, but you also admitted that we have been ostracized by mass media, politicians, and mostly important members of our own family which I believe to be our biggest loss. There could be someone being exploited somewhere in connection to any job, not our fault. But the difference here is, we know that always there has to be someone being exploited in this business. So, why all the suffering, lack of sleep, and loss of life quality?
Last year, I have lost about $8,000, due to the seizure of use-my-wallet which was a payment processor, while the funds were in transit to my bank account. I have had no way to get a single dollar back despite all the good work from many 2+2 forum posters which all fell to no avail. During that time, I wasn't eating or sleeping well at all. That, along with some other huge losses in the last few years had all urged me to stop, and will hopefully manage to. Sorry again, I didn't want to hurt your or anyone's else feelings as I respect you all.
