    Gambling will absolutely ruin your life no big story anymore it has taken everything from me and I will never quit bc I can’t I have a disease and it’s serious and if I can help one person in here please stop gambling no one wins. Vegas Wynn came out with a stat below 0.000001 are pro bettors it’s impossible! Chatgpt it if you don’t believe me this is terrible. I should have a life I know some do it for fun but if your like me and have a problem try to get help if your young. If your past 40 like me it’s to late but maybe I can help some youngster out there who is going through it.

    I cant pretend to know what youre dealing with, but please don't ever do it. Even if you think youre alone, you being here is better. Just talk to someone. I hope you read this

    gambling only exists cause money exists. And money only exists cause humans can’t run themselves in this world. Money controls everyone and gets them to do things. 

    Only God can predict the future. We would all be rich if we had that ability…

    The root of gambling is power. The root of wanting power is based on women wanting men who can provide. Hope that helps. While it does vary based on age and personal reasons this is a generally true statement. Men wany money and power because women want a man with money, power and resources.

I go to https://casinosanalyzer.com/free-spins-no-deposit/real-money and look for something there. It often works better than in big games of chance, and the wins are much more frequent.

    Thank you for sharing this honestly. It’s a powerful warning that help is never too late, and your words might save someone today!

     You are spot on. It is as you say a disease. There are groups that can help.  Gambler's anonymous- that's a starting point. If you can get the gambling under control maybe you can slowly get the issues caused by the gambling under control.  I really get what you are saying.  Everytime I say that's it I'm done , I see something and think maybe this is it , maybe this is what I've been looking for to win some games , and it's not 

    Please get hurting yourself as a solution out of your mind.  Please !!!
