I've heard so many stories about how my 3 uncles lost Houses, cars, factories, beside millions of IQD in the 70's, 80's and 90's on the gambling boards. But I never understood what drove them to that direction.
So yesterday in the midst of boredom I decided to take a small step into exploring the world in it's fullest image.
Now, to clear one thing a head, am not the kind of guy that would gamble, am not the kind of guy that would pay for sex, I don't steal,
kill, rape or any of that sh!t.
I am the kind of guy that understand the world by practicing. for example I try not to say I don't like Bacha (An Iraqi/Arab food dish), I tried it, and didn't like it. I don't just not like it fundamentally. I've learned this way from my mentor, R.I.P. - This way of thinking/reacting to things keeps my judgments right and I become less unfair towards life and whats revolves around it.
Yesterday nearly at the same time as now,I was reading an article about plastic industries and I remembered how my 2nd uncle used to be the king of plastics in Baghdad back in the days. Then I started to remember all the stories about how he and my 2 other uncles (youngest) wasted all the money,factories and lost 2 big houses and 4 cars including company cars by gambling too much. They were gambling addicts. The same happens with my cousin in Denmark, he had a big supermarket in Copenhagen running from the start of 2000 until couple of years ago when he was bankrupted due to lack of liquidity, family gave some gambling activity a big reason to the accident.
So I started to wonder if I have this idiotic thing in me?
I registered a new account on the betting site bet365 and deposited 100 SEK, Played some bets, won 7 out of 10 and got 300 SEK in matters of 2 hours. Then stupidly bet it all on the wrong bet, seriously, on a tennis match, I read the bet wrong :D. and I lost it. So I said ahhh What the heck it was just for experimental sake.
But then I guess my genes kicked in :D, I couldn't sleep, felt in need to retrieve my winnings, after all I made 2 time the amount of money I deposited, I can do it again.
So I deposited another 50 SEK, and started betting for about 6 hours, lost and won many bets, but I made an extra 80 SEK, so I put them all on a Snooker game that went terribly wrong :D and lost them. So I went to sleep blaming my ass for redepositing, because by this I crossed the reason of why I did it in the first place, Now I am a gambler, am not just experimenting.
Blood rushing in my veins, Testosterone levels exploded, I sweat like a pig, and I don't sweat in the summer dude!! All that happened when I redeposited for the 3rd time, which was just about now. And I wasn't even giving it a reason, It was like for no rational reason. I bet them on 1 safe game with low odds and I lost it :D, Imagine that.
Then I started to feel the anger, frustration, dis-valued my self, immoral, dirty. I was feeling like I did a crime!
That's when I realized that I can be the same kind of men that I grown up to resent! I am capable of that. And it's not about some genetic thing because to attribute addictions to genetic issues are merely rubbish allegations. Addiction in gambling is caused by the thrills and angers between winning an losing, it's created and empowered by the winning possibilities and losing reactions. That's is why gambling companies and website breaks the betting operations to small bits, because they know what drive people to gambling and what keeps them on doing that. That is why Gambling today is not a matter of winning a game or losing it any more, there are detailed bets that brings in more money, because wining margins on these detailed bets are higher than Win/Lose a game bets, and you can win in matter of seconds (In game bets) and lose it all at the same second.
From my experience with gambling I can clearly determined that every one of us is a gambling addiction candidate, once you know about money or in need of it, once you see an opportunity to get fast cast, once you have nothing else better to do. You will turn to gambling, because they are in our faces everwhere these days. So it's not all about having too much money to spend, or luxury, or having fun.. IT IS MUCH MORE SERIOUS THAN THAT.
Don't do it, and if you do stop doing it right now, because THE HOUSE ALWAYS WINS.
Peace out.
