or you lost it all in blackjack.
What really ruin your life is yourself there. You are too greedy. you win up to $500 then you though it was too easy and want to win $1 mil???? that's where your life start ruin.
Greedy is your worst enemy not POKER.

I think you are unclear about what true compulsive behavior is and how certain people are unable to control these impulses, no matter how much they want to. A compulsive and addictive type personality is a medically recognized psychiatric disorder.

Wrong. THe moral of the story is that if you finally recognize in yourself that gambling causes you to totally lose control, then one must totally stop that behavior forever and never gamble again and realize that forever you will be wrestling with the temptation.
