Obscene - simply obscene.

I am not sure what to think.  She founded the company and is now its director.  We have people like Bill Gates, Jack Dorsey, and Mark Zuckerberg making billions a year from companies they founded and for which they developed either a monopoly or a quasi monopoly.

 Sadly, lots gamble and they can't afford it.

 

A good experience was working in a casino when I was young, some of the sad sights we saw in there every week was enough to put you off gambling for life.

Denise wouldn't make much out of me.

 I haven't played in years. Never really was much of a gambler, but I enjoyed the occasional few hours at a blackjack table. 

 

It's really the only game anyone should bother playing, and then only if you understand that the game is based on probability and statistics and not "feelings".

Gambling within your means can be fun if that's what you enjoy, going to the casino was a good night out, as long as you knew your limits.

Now gambling is often done online, it seems like a solitary addiction for some....all the losses with none of the fun.

 Never did it online. Yeah, that doesn't sound like much fun unless you're in a cabin in Siberia and going out isn't an option.

 I don't even play the slots. For one, the odds really suck. 

 

Second, I like the camaraderie of Black Jack where a handful of folks are trying to take money from the house and not each other. Slots don't provide that. People sit and stare at a screen feeding it money.

From my experience people who like the social aspect of gambling are not hooked...they just like the atmosphere and a night out.

The addicts are either the so called professional gamblers, who win big and lose bigger, they seldom socialise in casino's, seldom drink when gambling, their purpose is solely to beat the odds.

And more recently the lone internet gamblers, maybe the saddest of them all.
