Guys/Gals it's posted in the meme community, clearly this did not happen. The joke is funnier in the first person.

Agreed, which is why I labelled it a "problem." I go gambling very rarely, but sometimes I do when I have a spare $80 that I don't mind pissing away. But once that $80 is gone, I'm done, and I stop. I also stop when I've made at least 200% profit (I've very rarely made it that high). It's a good point to stop if you want to do well the few times you do win.

Gambling isn't the problem as much as the addiction to it and an industry which purposefully makes it more addictive.
