General This Is An Interesting Story

[zephyr 12]

There are 2 things I took out of this story coming out of Manchester England:

One: Tattooing yourself as a method to getting past your gambling addiction. That's a new one on me.

Two: One way to spot a gambling addict would be to see how frequently they play fixed odd machines.

It's worth the read.

Your take?

This is definitely worth the read. I would never want to play in a machine that stakes 100 pounds every 20 seconds. I think tattooing oneself is a good idea but I am not one of those people that love painful reminders. The problem with such articles is that they could encourage people to play the fixed odds machines, when everyone is trying to run away from them.

Very interesting article of a recovering gambling addict. It outlines his addiction and the results that happened because of it. Really opens your eyes. I can understand of how fixed odds would draw certain people. I have never been one of those people.
