Slanted NPR report on online poker and college students Friday

[hoosiertim]

I quit my job and went back to school full-time in January. Maybe they could do a follow up on me?

I do, however think that it is a big enough problem that the schools should educate students about the pitfalls. At Indiana U. Part of freshman orientation they watch skits about sommon problems at college (credit cards, booze, drugs, etc.) I would have no problem with them including on-line gambling and gaming in that.

I really meant the superfish. I recall one player at Pokerroom who lost 10K a month for 2 months before her husband cut her off. She lost this is at 1/2 full if you believe this or not. She literally played 8 hours a day everday........

Gambling, of course. It doesn't matter if it's live or on the internet, it's gambling. Addictive gamblers don't think about bankroll management, LOL. You guys really do need to get off your PAHUD/PT and visit a casino sometime. The internet makes it too easy for the crackhead to get its fix. Should it be banned? Of course not, but get a grasp of reality sometime and leave your dorm room.
