Question by Answer Girl 2007: Should I Dump Him?
My boyfriend is the best guy I know. I’ve never been more in love and more willing to want to start a future (marriage) with someone.

His one downfall is that he use to have a gambling problem. He had bad finanacial problems b/c of it; but is in the process of getting his life back together.

I love him, but he’s never seeked professional help. I’m a little concerned this “problem” will start again. I DO believe people can beat their addicitions, I DON’T believe they can do them WITHOUT professional help.,

Question by chinita: What to do if you think your boyfriend has a gambling problem?
His favorite game is the roulette.
Lately he has been going to the casino a lot…yesterday was day 6. He lost all his money. Now he has no money to get to work or even eat.

So today he convinced me to go back with him so he could get his money back.
So I went and let him borrow 30 bucks and he lost them. Then convinced me to play 40 so he could get the 30 back and lost it.
I think he did feel guilty. At least he said he won’t go back.

Life and love are a bit of a gamble. – after all the tears, pain, heartbreak and soul-searching.

Question by Henry: My Profitable Gambling Addiction?
I play online video games that have currencies in them, and I use Game Theory to accumulate incredible sums of wealth within those video games. This usually involves gambling with other players through various means such as player.vs.player combat in which items are at risk, gambling on the probability of an event occurring, etc. Now the thing is, I have learned so much from my adventure with gambling in games. I have significantly improved my mathematical skills, and I feel proud to have created some completely unique games that I’ve used to “clean out” others. I have done research on events in these video games and have made discoveries that nobody other than the programmers of them know.
