   One question to determine if one is an addict, “Have you lied to anyone, family or friends regarding your gambling behavior”..if you can answer ‘yes’, you are an addict. But chances are an addict won’t be honest and answer yes – even to himself. (And nor will his enabler). They will even gamble their relationships. (i.E. time stolen from their own children because of the new “challenge” or competition to win).

   They cannot realise it because they have a mental problem. It’s a rush to them and they don’t care who it hurts. They cannot just play cards or slots for entertainment. It’s their drug. And like the drug addict, they will steal, lie, convince family members to join them, etc. It’s sad. They will never stop until they destroy themselves and their families. They need to win -whether it’s a poker game, or a court case. The kids suffer in the end. Sad.

   I don´t enjoy slot machines, lotto tickets, blackjack, roullette etc…..thats completely up to chance, no control. I don´t do those things and don´t enjoy gambling my money that way.

   But….One must realize that there is a huge skill factor in Poker!! bigger than luck!! I agree to what these guys are talking about, except for the poker part, I play poker myself and am quite successful, one just has to study the game.
