20 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Gamble

DG
We live in a special country in this good old USA. It's land of the free and home of the brave. Home to do pretty much anything you want, like gamble on anything from a Football game to who's going to be the next President of our treasured country. Gambling is offered almost everywhere we go. You walk in a store you can buy a scratch ticket, in a bar you can play some keno your next door neighbor maybe a bookie. When you gamble you lose. Yea sure some lucky Joe will win the lottery, but you have a better chance of going to Hollywood and becoming the next Denzel Washington. On a serious note gambling can be a serious addiction for some people. Some people can lose their homes, or families and it can go as far as someone being in so deep they take their own life. All your doing when you gamble is making someone richer. I have revised a list to help you turn away from this bad habit and stop gambling today.

20 Reasons why you should not gamble:

1. The house always wins.
2. Extremely high stress level.
3. If you love your wife, kids and home in which you live.
4. The odds are always against you.
5. If you did not go to MIT and can't count cards.
6. Referees like former NBA Ref Tim Donaghy.
7. There is a real life Tony Soprano out there and he will break your legs.
8. You have a part time job, and full time bills.

    If you want people to take you seriously, please learn the difference between "your" and "you're". Thanks!
