Message: [QUOTE="joe777, post: 2555401, member: 116259"] Whether we are willing to admit it or not,poker [B]is[/B] related to gambling and like most other activities that involved taking risks for possible ultimate reward,gambling can only lead to excessive compulsive engagement in rewarding behavior and rather sooner than later it will become an addiction and produce adverse consequences. While most people gamble for entertainment, a small number of people can become obsessed with the potential monetary gains the games offer. Even though studies suggest that only a very small percentage of the adult population encounters compulsive gambling problems. a.Gambling/poker is a form of entertainment. It is not a way to get rich quickly and pay off your debts. b.Gambling is a game of chance. There are no formulas that guarantee winnings because poker is not pure math,luck also play a role. c.Make sure that the decision to gamble is your choice and you can afford to lose.. d.Never try to chase your losses. "Problem gambling–or gambling addiction–includes all gambling behavior patterns that compromise, disrupt or damage personal, family or vocational pursuits. The essential features are increasing preoccupation with gambling, a need to bet more money more frequently, restlessness or irritability when attempting to stop, “chasing” losses, and loss of control manifested by continuation of the gambling behavior in spite of mounting, serious, negative consequences. In extreme cases, problem gambling can result in financial ruin, legal problems, loss of career and family, or even suicide. For more information on the American Psychiatric Association’s criteria for gambling addiction, please see the DSM 5 at www.psych.org."-NCPG(National Council on Problem Gambling) Well thats all i got for you folks this time.Maybe we shall continue the discussion at some other time.
