So far your attitude tells me that you should quit now. Gambling is a tough game to be in blalabla... we all know this, but the worst thing is when you are hating it, then you should just stay away.

Take your mind off of it and do something else that interests you.

GL, I hope you didn;t loose too much, don't chase, quitting will save you a lot more.

Impulse control is not the same thing as addiction chief.

People go broke because they are stupid enough to think they can win and bet outside their bankrolls. This is not addiction, it's weakness and stupidity.

Rapists talk about impulse control quite a bit, maybe we should pat em on the head and send 'em to a therapist.

JOHON8 · 04-13-10, 01:57 AM

^^ Exactly.

The gambling industries' biggest profit makers are those who are chasing their losses and not following the right philosophies.

PAULYPOKER · 04-13-10, 02:03 AM

There is such a thing as profitable Chase systems you know with the right philosophies.

The response I was fishing for Doc. You must also know that most pathological gamblers have lower levels of norepinephrine?

Harvard medical school also did neuro-image tests that showed the monetary reward in a gambling enviorment was almost identical to that of a cocaine addict recieving an infusion of cocaine.

Have a nice day

addiction to cocaine is just as weak as so called addiction to gambling, its mental do it if you want or stop if you dont wanna do it if not your just a pussy.....H or any opiates for that matter are a little harder as you will be physically sick when you dont got it so you better be a little stronger than the avg bear to do that shit for any period of time and stop.....couldnt tell you about any neuro-image test just personal experience

Good story. I like to provide sources when I'm being cocky (for future reference)

Yeah those neuro image test show people getting something they want. Weak people get addicted to cocaine too, so your point doesn't really affect my argument.

Bottom line is people can overcome the levels of neurotransmitters in their head. That's what strength is. Everybody has something to deal with.

Stop making so much sense Bank. We must coddle these people and give them excuses because personal responsibility is clearly not an option.

No idea what the first sentence means, but I just said people aren't equal you doofus. That doesn't mean it gives you excuses.

Should probably not blame murderers or rapists, since it's not their fault their brains are screwed up.

my fault...personally accountability is high on my list of quality's i respect in a person , unfortunately the pussification of America has lead to a bunch of whiners that blame everything on something or someone instead of owning up to it, guess it is the way to go when you get a bunch of pussy doctors doing studies to excuse ppl from having self control...

If you suddenly lose your ability to think correctly and properly because of brain damage from the bashing of the baseball bat I previously gave you and you kill your entire family is it your own fault????

DrStale · 04-13-10, 03:02 AM

People that can't control their gambling do not have brain damage. What a ridiculous argument.

Holtgetsback · 04-13-10, 03:02 AM

A lot of people will gamble everything they have down the drain, destroying their lives and the lives of loved ones. Let's take Brock for example.

This is because of the rush they get and the fight to maintain it. Taking a person with a serious gambling problem away from the tables can be compared to taking a needle full of heroin away from an addict.

Are these people weak? Yes. Unresponsible? Yes

A high number of bank robberies, murders and suicides are the direct result of gambling. Imagine if Brock's Dad didn't bail him out. Guy would being doing 15 years for sticking up CityBank.

But it is not an addiction. These people are just pussys

I agree they are pussys. No sarcasm. I do think it is an addiction though

Holtgetsback · 04-13-10, 03:07 AM

I'd look out for Pauly if I were you Doc, he wants to hit you with a baseball bat.

Guy must have lost a lot of money on the Pirates this year.

Just teasin' Pauly

brain damage and being a pussy are not quite the same thing, however it would be impressive if you could still kill your family after getting blasted in the head with a ball bat....i had a fuk once try and hit me with a bat stepped into it and put my arm up but the fukker still rapped around and caught me in the back of the head (not as much force as intended of coarse) but left me seeing spots for a minute while i ran...caught that bitch w/o a bat a few days later

Actually I believe your are in the Denial stage of your sickness which would explain why you are strongly defending your own argument

PAULYPOKER · 04-13-10, 03:12 AM

You see Dr. people are born as if they were hit by a baseball bat but really weren't

I doubt you born addicted to anything per say. Clearly, people are inclined to exhibit certain personality traits which are endorsed by their environments. There clearly are a series of choices made. As DrStale suggested, one needs to take responsibility for those choices. Not getting enough "way to go's" as a child doesn't rise to the level of brain damage or getting hit in the head by a bat for that matter.

Denial is a defense mechanism. The literature has moved toward conceptualizing addiction from a motivational perspective.

Positivity is the key guys. I enjoy life. I'm a positive person. I don't feel unhappy after a losing streak since I'm using only %3 of my bankroll.

Life is good! Enjoy the sunshine, girls and life! You got 1 life, LIVE IT! Don't spend your youth in front of your pc. Pick your spots/games and go outside.
