What would you say is the #1 killer of a Gambler..?

I would have too say GREED.

Your thoughts?

Gambling bill.

Beats greed in 2007 for sure.

I work in a Casino and I think it is that people lose the value of money. Online betters don't have to hand over cold hard cash so it is much easier to bet large amounts, Casinos use chips for that exact same reason.

Id say poor money managment, that is if you plan on gambling over an extended period of time.

Burnout.

emotion.. I guess this could be the same as greed...

The biggest challenge is balance. Betting will test character, mind, and feeling, and the gamblers who go off the deep end are the ones who lose their balance.

its the addiction.

i have had a ridiculous week. turned 140$ into almost 1200$ in 6 days sports betting. every% figure in the world says STOP NOW. Not only does it not appear like I can't stop, I haven't slept good in 5 nights, because ontop of watching 12 hours of baseball and stats a day, i am dreaming sports betting in my sleep.

its the thing that doesn't let you stop - the thing that keeps you awake for four straight days at the tables ... you know what im talking about.

[Dark Horse]

Lack of balance...

So is greed.

So is any type of mental aggravation. Or addiction.


Staying centered is the hardest thing. Isn't that why we gamble? To learn that more quickly.

Chases
Bets too many games

themselves

[Sam Odom]

Heart related problems

[LGBoots]

Physiological meltdown

I think many Gamblers suffer from this especially after a bad run, you become 'scared' to place a bet in case this is a loser as well

I also think that Gamblers suffer more with mood swings then the average guy (I do anyway )
