A severe gambling addiction is similar to a drug addiction. You may, lie, cheat, steal, when you otherwise wouldn’t. All it takes is for him to walk into a casino and place a bet, next thing he knows it is sunrise and THE money is gone! A little at a time.
Gambling addicts want “The Action”. Yes, they want to win, but they crave the action. If they get “Down”, they will chase their losses in the hopes of trying to get “Up” or back to even. If they are “Up”, they want more. There is no limit to stopping, that is one reason why a gambling addiction is so dangerous. Usually there are 2 things that will stop a gambling addict. 1. To much to drink. 2. Very Tired, they need sleep.
Now, if you throw drugs into the mix, especially a stimulant, there Fucked. For Chrissy it’s Coke. Stay up for days and feel great! They want to keep going, there is no end in sight!
We have:
A degenerate Gambler
Access to $227k
Unlimited Coke (227k worth at least)
Hotel suite
Ugly wife at home. Hot Girls at the casino.
Excellent comps betting at high levels
Free Meals without leaving
That 227k has a very short lifespan.
