Simple question: isn't risk taking a part of most people's lives? Speeding on the highway and jaywalking may seem harmless, but can have dire results at times. Other risky behaviors can spin out of control sometimes before you have a chance to understand how it all went so bad as quickly as it did!

I've known several gambling addicts down through the years, the damage they did to their financial and family lives was tragic. Divorce was almost a given, homelessness occurred on several occasions. Being shunned by their parents and siblings sometimes followed after money was borrowed and never paid back.

Two things I never could understand after all the above. First, I couldn't get any of them to attend GA meetings after I offered to attend with them and second, why they ever thought they had a chance to win consistently in any gambling endeavor when the gamble itself is connected to a computer. (Yes, I'm saying cheating can be involved. Imagine!)

Are both illegal, because of the risk they pose.
