    Are gamblers really happy???

    Or does the habit just hide true feelings?

    Don’t bet every day.

    Be selective and enjoy the rewards!! I live on this crap.

    I take my family on nice vacations a few times a year due to selective wagering.

    I love it!!!!

    Who’s the one that make’s you happy?
    Or maybe
    Who’s the one that’s on your mind
    And who’s the reason your living for
    Who’s the reason for your smile.....

    you have to win 2 times as much to break even


    so if you have 100 losing days a year

    you need over 200 winning days

    and lets say you are down 10k on losing days

    you need to win 20k on winning days

    just to break even in terms of happiness





    i think i paraphrasing it correctly

    Way happier when gambling. Being out of the game sucks. Don’t care if I was losing. Losing is better than not playing.
