    I remember watching a doctor blow 60k in like 2 hrs… that’s when I realized how serious gambling is. After he lost he signed a paper and got another 20k in chips. The dealer told me he’s here almost every day, he’s a surgeon who has millions but he’s going to be broke soon. The dealer has been working there for like 15 years, she says it never fails. They won’t stop until they don’t have a penny! The richer they are, the worst it gets! Even if they win, they think about how much money they didn’t win instead of the money they won. We all hear this at the casino,” man I should’ve bet 1000 on that Hard 8!” So now they start raising all their bets and of course they’ll lose all of it!

      So true the richer you are the more you lose a business owner wagers 1 million a year in the kentucky derby and has lost 3 x, that's 3 million its nuts.

    Life is a gamble. Gambling itself is a bad gamble. Speaking from someone who won today.

    I have to say in relation to teaching finances in school, I don't think the system would wanna allow that. I hate to say it but the system don't wanna teach finances because they want us to be stuck in debt and give in to the system, taking out loans to get a job that pays less annually than the loan itself, do all that. It's really sad.

    I love that! He said… “Don’t use your debit card. Instead, use your credit card…. And if you think you can’t pay it at the end of month then pay it at the end of the day everyday as if it’s a debit card”

    American gamblers are in trouble big time. Generally Americans are uneducated when it comes to betting .
    Sports betting has been approved in 38 states and phone betting in 30 states. This is a nightmare waiting to happen. Great video by Bret. He was in an unusual position to have other regular income streams which other gambling addicts might not have. Find it interesting he is an smart financial guy and yet still wanted to bet on horses with a take of maybe15% and more. I .
