False.

People that would do this would have spent the money in other ways. Beer, Girls, Drugs, a widescreen HDTV, what diffrence does it make. Either way, the money is gone with nothing to show for it.

I'll never forget the day I walked into a gas station and overheard a conversation that the girl behind the counter was having with her friend (that also worked there)... It was payday and they both had just got paychecks. They cashed them at the bank next door and ran back to the gas station to decide which scratch off tickets they would spend it (all of it) on.

/sigh

Some people are stupid. Nothing to do about it. If you try to stop them it doesn't help. The only thing that will help them is growing up. The faster they grow up the less pain they will suffer. Using the goverment as a "mommy" makes that take more time, not less.

I believe the best thing that can happen to an addicted gambler is to run into a good pro that can take his money hand after hand. At least that way he has a chance of realiseing he needs help.

And either way he will lose the money
