we have an author of a gambling book that comes here and rolls in the mud wht nameless facesless people who have no real credentials,
And an AP that is in the middle of tragedy needs to set the record straight about nonsense with nameless faceless people.
This shouldn't be too tough to understand. APs or gamblers in general are usually very lonely people. A very high percentage of them are true addicts and not only with gambling but with all things in life. They fall into problems with drugs, alcohol, prostitutes... etc. etc.

I myself have many of these problems and had them worse earlier in life. So it only makes sense that they are addicted to posting on forums and also lonely seeking out attention. I fall into the trap many times myself and have wanted to get away from posting but it is so darn easy to just type out your thoughts and post them and move on as if your doing something which you are not. It is just another trap like many of the pitfalls in our American Lifestyle.
I dont buy the "addiction" moniker as it gets loosely thrown around. Hollywood stars who get caught cheating.....acting badly......all of a sudden check into a clinic for "sex addiction". Sometimes people can just act fucked up without being able to blame an "addiction".
