The dumbest man alive...
I saw a story on the news Sunday morning that made me, as a gambler, want to puke. I'll try to summarize as best I can....
There's a guy with a gambling addiction and he ends up in way over his head. I'm talking WAY over. As in, this guy has like 5 or 6 million in gambling debts built up and it's all starting to catch up with him. Anyways, he finds a bank in Vegas that cashed a bad check he wrote for a quarter of a million dollars and what does he do but hit the tables, of course, trying to win himself out of debt. The amazing thing is that he actually DID it. He ran his $250,000 all the way up to close to $9 million on the black jack tables. (9 million was enough to cover all of his debts and still leave him in excess of 2 million dollars left over.) But, as you might assume based on the fact that he let himself get this far into debt to begin with, this guy wasn't very bright. Nor did he know when to quit because in the SAME NIGHT that he won 9 million, he lost every penny of it back to the very same blackjack table!!! Yep, he was a millionaire for all of about two hours, now he's back to being buried in debt so deep that he'll never climb out. What an idiot. I'll tell you right now, if I ever get ahead even 1 million at the casino, I'll call it a day and take the wife out for a drink.

At least go pay what you owe and then throw away the other 2 if you just can't help yourself. That's just too damn stupid.

I want to beat him for screwing up an opportunity that anyone else would kill for. $2mill over your debts? Dear lord...
Honestly, killing him would be doing him a service. His life is nothing but pain if that is what he is doing...

I dont understand how someopne could get that far in debt over time. I would have thought when he hit $30,000 in debt, someone would have broken his legs.

They each won enough money between them to pay off all of thier debts..buy themselves a home n car each..but ..what did they do?? dumbasses kept going to try n win the 5 million$ jackpot with a mercedes..plus other prizes. They ended up ringing family in Auckland to borrow money to get thier car out of the carparking area..a whole 5$'s. Some ppl just dont learn... they were back up the following week. :rolleyes:

I couldn't do that. The whole debt thing was just stupid. Hell, if I get in $20 over my head, I freak out like the worlds going to end. As you can imagine, everything I own is paid for. I can't stand being in debt. And if I was in that far, I'd probably shoot myself.

I regard people who gamble as being pretty stupid in the first place. If you're gonna gamble, you may as well sell drugs and gamble on whether or not you're going to get caught at it...better money, I'm sure.
Poker machine freaks piss me off. Especially the ones that make a living of it. How someone can even endure one of those machines (surrounded by others with their stupid fucking flashing lights and repetetive jingles) for more than 5 minutes is beyond me. Notice how many poker machine freaks smoke too? Addictive personality...sad sad sad. ...and the whole "I'll try to gamble more to win something back", totally fucking retarded. As for this guy, it's good to know that at least the loan sharks will get a good laugh before hurting him.
