Pleasure or Addiction
Going to the Casino to spend an afternoon or an evening can be very pleasurable! You can leave all your problems behind and just switch off from every day chores. Entering an unrealistic world where money has no real meaning and time flies.
Watching other people, their facial expressions become fascinating and tell a story of its own, as they win or lose. In reality, they will always in the end lose more than they can ever win! Even when they do win, it really translates into losing. Only the Casino wins in the long term.; this is a proven fact.
Unfortunately there are many people who should not be there, not even for five minutes. These are the people who do not have any disposable cash to spare. They are low income earners, very often with large families. They go there with high hopes of a grand win, which does not materialise in most cases. These disillusioned people generally leave, without a chance of feeding their dependents for the rest of the month, thus causing much hardship and strife. The pawnbrokers lie in wait!
Then there are the wise ones, who enter with only a limited amount of money to spend, place low bets, and manage to spend the entire time they are there, enjoying themselves on their limited budge. They may win a small amount, they may lose, but whatever the outcome, they have had a few hours of good entertainment.
Gambling, as we know, can become a terrible addiction. This often happens to people, who do not appear to be aware of their actions. It just becomes a compulsion and they need help, and quickly. It may be detected by a friend, or a family member, who will suggest the right course of action for them to take. Fortunately, there are many help centres for them to make contact with and with attending regular sessions, this will guide them in the right direction.
Of course, if gambling is your choice of the day and you cannot leave your home, there is another option available to you. That is, gambling on line. All that is needed is a computer and a Credit Card. There are a variety of casinos who offer this facility. You can play slots or poker and still have fun without leaving home!
But, do listen to a bit of friendly advice; do not become an addict!
