Gambling

Tony36

Many are aaddicted to a demon called gambling 

Sitting in casiinos for hours

Playing

Slots

Poker

Our other games

Looking for that big pay off

Losing their life in the process 

 

Losing 

Home

Family 

Jobs

And who knows what else

Just to feed the beast

 

When not sitting in casinos 

They bet on sporting events

Not just the big sports either 

College 

Highshcool 

Elementary school 

Sports are just another  feed to them

 

Or they just make stuff up

Like

"I bet 10 dollars I can do such and such"

Or

" I bet 10 dollars so and so is getting fired today"

 

All to feed the beast

Wasting their lives

Hurting those around them

    Thanks for the warning TONY ~ Thank GOD I have never gambled but Friends who do are really hooked ~ it is as addictive as drugs. The only advantage is ~ it kills you much more slowly ! Yours BRIAN

        Never done a bet in my life, I must be so boring, but I recognise the troubles it causes and this summarises it so well

        • Tony36

          Thank you. If you are boring then I am to, never have I taken a bet or any other type of gambling. Also like you I have seen the destruction it has caused to my friends and a few family members
