I gotta wager online....the nearest track is 8 hr away...Canterbury & AP...both 8 hr away... I did make a trip to AP for Million preview Day...Here is the BIG difference for me.

I bet ALOT more online than I did at the track. It is way to easy to sit in front of the computer and do crazy things like bet every horse in the race (not really but close) and punch in $1 exactas with no clue what I'm doin...I could see where it would be easy to develop a problem wagering online.

I don't bet like the above scenario ( well maybe once ) but it is VERY easy to get carried away. Scary easy...

I cannot wager online in Arizona, a constant thorn in my side, which is just another reason I want to be back in the Buckeye state, and will eventually. I also cannot wager on harness or quarterhorse races, which pisses me off, and no horse wagering after 7:00 p.m., plus during the day I can only bet on a select few tracks, so I have to hope they are carrying the track I want to bet.

Gotta love Arizona...
yes

You need to work much hard on your addiction...you are still at the point that you are controlling it and it is not controlling you...stop the 12 step meeting this will help
