Reply to Rick on gambling

I have been going to the Casino quite a lot recently and i'm just not sure about the whole thing. There is an air of desperation, similar to that in a strip club, that makes it a little bit uncomfortable. I think anyway.

I have friends who gamble but only for fun, and everyone wastes money in some way or another, so £50 that you have already accepted your going to lose i think poses no problem at all. It's the people that are there because they need money that are the issue. I suppose they are the people we think of when the term gambling addict is thrown around. Rich people gamble all the time but they can afford it, so no one cares in the slightest. And I think that's fair enough, if I was loaded i'd go to Vegas and put 2 million pounds on black, but i'm poor, and so i wont.

Basically I think if you can't afford to gamble just don't.
