You said earlier the worst you did was break even, now you say you've done well to break even or small loses (sic).

You are right I did say that so let me clarify. When I say break even at the end of a year I’m talking minimal gains or loses. Let’s say + or -$50 to $100. That’s no big deal to me and break even in my mind. Didn’t really lose or make anything. Now if you add two zeroes to that and it’s in the negative that’s unacceptable to me even though I could afford a 5-10k loss at EOY and not feel any repercussions. Over the last 30+ years I’ve never fell on my face and lost my arse because I don’t wager enough for that to happen. My original post stated gambling is a slippery slope that people with an addictive personality should not chase. If you can’t pay your bills, take care of your kids, all because you lost it gambling, that’s just messed up.
