How do people enjoy gambling so much?

They had the company party at a casino and gave us spending money.

Lost it all but while playing the machines, I was astounded by the amount of money being spent and how quickly it left!

I don't see how gamble maniacs do it! It gave me anxiety losing and it wasn't even my money. Lol

Not to mention my throat started to get irritated by all the cigarette smoke. I had fun but I couldn't gamble every week like some do. It's crazy to me

ditto!

it’s crazy how people get addicted to it. i think maybe it’s for people who like adrenaline, but don’t want to expend physical energy.

@SW-User or don't know how to. I have a relative who is overcoming a gambling addiction. She is a successful business owner which is the crazy thing.

thanks for ba, @Still4him 🙂

i have an ex who stole $ from me, forged my signature, and emptied his mother’s savings account. i was astounded, because i thought that only happened with junkies. and i guess i was right, actually. it’s sad.
