After my divorce(12 years ago) I actually quit for a year without a problem as I had a new job and a new sex slave to keep me distracted. I started gambling at about the age of ten and have gambled pretty heavily(relatively) every year for 48 straight years. Even when I got busted for "professional gambling" I did not take a break. I did get out of the bookie business but I just jumped to the other side of the counter. When I wake up every day the first thing I do is check the lines to see if there is anything worthwhile to bet. I will probably make some sort of bet every day for the rest of my life. I really don't consider myself as some sort of addict, but have to admit that by the definition that the get help places use I am actually hopelessly addicted.

Does options trading count as gambling? I like binary options a lot, and it is a pretty nice way to earn some money online, I have to say. What do you think? Do you like some trading activities?

Yep. No problem. I did.
Funny thing is, I was at an indian casino just for the buffet. Long story short, I was at the bar watching the Dodger game 6. and sitting next to me was this Vietnamese dude who was sulking because he had a decent amount of coin on the Dodgers. I could see him scrolling through his phone tracking the college scores. Chatted with him a bit. Turned out he was begging for overs to hit on 3 evening games to hopefully to flll the huge loss on his now worthless Dodgers ML ticket. (it was only the 3rd inning but writing was on the wall). Dude was in agony. I could see it on his face and how talked.

I thought to myself, "I've been there, glad I ain't no more".
