The only way I can address such a moronic statement is to say, I am very happy outside of gambling. Gambling exists. It's there for those who want it. I think those who are good at it (picking winners on a consistent basis with money discipline) are not completely happy either. Predicting the behavior of humans in group activities has to lead eventually to insanity at some level. Do you not agree? Please offer your insight.

This is actually quite true, IMO. Micro organizational behavior 101. GL with this new chapter of your life DC. (I'd probably ease up a tad on the preaching tho.)

OK, I am outta here. Mods, go ahead and extinguish me forever. Do it.
My final advice from my soapbox for all gamblers is trifold:
1) Have fun--never forget it's just a game. Don't take it seriously. Don't think of your winnings before you bet. Try to think what might happen on the field/court. Expect distortion (an underdog upsetting the flow of the game to try and win)
2) If you win big, careful, it could be the worst thing to happen to you. Take a morning or day off, and just predict w/o even a single dollar on the action. It can be exhilirating and help you re-focus while everyone is screaming and throwing objects around the house and slapping their computer screens.
3) The past never predicts the future, just as the absurd idea that a tail can wag the dog. Don't read too much into trends and past history. The game starts when the egg is cracked and is sizzling in the pan. Players and coaches will fail to perform, and refs and a handful of players who are on the take, can effect outcomes--that is to be exopected with any human being. They are no different than you or I. You really want to put players and refs on a higher moral pedestal and expect them to stay there for the "sanctity of the game?" Really?

Marijuana is just a plant, and should never be "banned." The government should never wage war on drugs. be suspicious when they do just that. It is likely that the DEA and the CIA just might have a hand in the illicit trade. Their budgets depend on there being a "problem" with drugs, because the price goes up. It is common knowledge that during the Vietnam War, the CIA took over the lucrative heroine trading route through Laos/Cambodia and Vietnam.
"Drugs" are a medical problem. Anyone with a medical problem needs to see a medical professional to live healthier. The solution is not to lock someone in prison for trying to get a fix.
We need our police to protect us from theft and robberies. We need them to protect and monitor our roads and highways. We do not need them to deal with drug issues. Again, this is a medical issue. Countries like England and Scandinavian countries deal with it this way, and they do not have overcrowded priosons or a "drug problem."
Now gangs are dealing drugs because it is "prohibited" and the price is high. They make a lot of money--until they're caught.
Yet we know that border agents have been bought off. We know cops have been bought off. we know lives are ruined--because of plants.
Plants exist for a reason. People want them to exist.
