My question is -
______________
Has gambling left a trace on you; if it has which consequences are you experiencing right now?
I have been in the gambling world for the last 4 years, making some money from poker freerolls, having some nice wins with sports bets, and even I hit x999 a couple of times on dice and some big multipliers on plinko.
I don't feel the Physical or the Psychic Consequences you mentioned. The only hard feelings I had were related the bettor's side, for I' ve seen people loosing millions of dollars in their bets. That's why I started working for casinos and ended on the developers side.
I'm a gambler and it probably will not change, as neither my personality, I'm more focused now than ever and still trying to grow in this business step by step.
Even when I agree about gambling can have some physical and psychic related issues, it doesn' t happen to everybody. There are many people with previous issues, as anxiety, depression, and so, and maybe they join gambling in a search of something they lack. But they shouldn' t, of course, for gambling can make any mental illness get far worst. But not everybody will be sick due to their gambling activity. Nothing is black or white, there are millions of greys in between.
