Feeling guilty
Yes I have a section of feeling guilty when gambling.
Feeling guilty when gambling is a bad sign!, because there is something wrong. To me gambling is wrong when gambling money that was for paying bills and for gambling money that was to spend on your family or even to save money in the bank. I believe gambling is bad for the community, I do not support the Indian casino's, and State lotteries and State gambling! Gambling take money from small business when it so close to city and towns! The reason why Las Vegas does so good because of tourism, the Indians casino's make money from the community not from tourism.
I want you to understand, loosing money to casino's is not hard. You are not a loser, the chances of winning are slim nor matter who you are!
There are many house wife's that cry to me about loosing there husband paycheck or there part-time job paycheck. Machines can grab anyone and keep them addicted for a long time. The sad part is the casino's know this! And they act like they are not responsible. Casino's lie, and try all types of ways for you to gamble more money per visit. In Las Vegas that's fine, But in your own town it can be a dangerous to yourself and your family, and to the community. The media loves the money casino's spent on advertising, so they say nothing negative about casino's in the media!


Addiction "Am I addicted to gambling"
Well it not hard to become addicted to gambling. Most addiction comes from machines, tables you can become compulsive, but not like machines. I gamble for over 20 years and control my gambling till I met a video poker machine. Video poker is highly addictive and very expense. I became video addict, I play those machines for hours the money I made playing live poker I would spend it playing video poker. There were times I would play over 24 hours on one machine. Of  that time I met other people also addicted to them. I seen many of people lose their jobs, homes and families due to a machine. Don't laugh, gambling now days take in millions of dollars each year from this addiction. The problems is trying to quit, it is hard to quit! Every paycheck you think of playing and end up gambling most of it to the casino's. It's becomes a lonely addiction and you feel so alone. It took me 8 years to stop, the sad part I try to stop the first year. I knew I had a problem, the very first year. I could not control putting money in those machines!  Video Poker and the new nickel machines, and video keno are the most addictive games to play, and they are most hardest to quit. An average amount of money it take is for every ten minutes (.00 for every hour) and the chances of winning is very low. When you are compulsive (ADDICTED GAMBLER) and win a royal flush $1,000.00, you will continue play longer and spend it all back in the same night. WE ALL DONE IT!

If you feel you addicted please understand you are not alone, try to contact your local gamblers anonymous. "I UNDERSTAND YOUR PAIN" Casino's are responsible for this not you! Don't believe the casino's at any time! Casino's are the new drug lords of 90's and 2000's. The best thing I find to control my habits is to gamble free on the net or my own PC. Do not gamble real money on the net!!! You will not win!!!
