I guess that's the difference between guys like me and you.

I gamble for shits and giggles; you're in it to earn your daily bread.

When I lose (happens a lot) I shrug and say "Oh well, it was spare money anyway, I'm financially well-heeled and need to spend it on something so who cares, really?" whereas if you lose it's more like "Fuck me, it's back to dumpster diving til the tide turns."

When gambling is an existential event people have to take it more seriously to help ensure their survival; for me it's a mindless albeit stimulating diversion.

What a lousy post MisterV.
You apparently know mickeycrimm's financial position in life. He very well may be sitting better than you are.
