GAMBLING AT HOME
I watched an advert on TV with a women telling us how her family knows that every evening at a certain time, she makes a cup of tea and a piece of cake and then goes on her own with her phone and plays ON LINE BINGO and how this is her hour, her time to spend with friends within the community ( other gamblers I suppose ) and her time to spend - er- gambling away the families money.... and they think this is normal practice in an average home then huh ???
If ANYONE takes time out of their day to gamble, whether on the lap top, phone or other devise, then they are pretty sad people and you are a dumb fucker for letting them.
There's a hint in the name - GAMBLING - and we all know that there is only ever one winner at gambling and that is ; the house - the casino - the web site - and not you.
Oh you may win but how much do you loose, and not just the financial losses.
Any time my Step Father had cash in his pocket we knew he would vanish some time that evening and not return for hours - spending it at the casino, and even after he had lost all the money he had, he would stay in the casino as he loved the energy, the vibe, and it drove my Mother mad.
Gambling is just another addiction like alcohol, drugs or even sex, and they promote it on the telly as a SOCIAL THING TO DO...???
This is NOT acceptable advertising.
I find that kind of promotion disgraceful.
Don't you ?
