Gander,you say it affects people's moods? Well,I think it attracts people with mood problems to begin with.So,it is often a symptom of a problem (not the actual problem.)It obviously ups your mood in anticipation of the race,and then lowers it when you lose.I again say that if people would only bet with money they could afford to lose,then they wouldn't have such low moods when they lose. See,it is a self-discipline problem.Gambling exposes things that are already there.It doesn't create anything that isn't already there.Anyways,I know you wouldn't be on here,or bet at all, if your mood wasn't elevated by doing so. So,blaming gambling for causing low moods,doesn't tell the other side of the story.Gander,it is no different than blaming potatoe chips for people being fat.People can enjoy them(and elevate their mood,)but if they eat too many of them,they will get fat(which will lower their mood.)The problems that come from gambling are the result of people betting too damn much money.Just like the problem that comes from potatoe chips is that people eat too many.What makes people stop eating them? Self -discipline.What makes people stop betting? Self -discipline.What you are saying is to get rid of all the potatoe chips,and then you don't have to control yourself.I have bet horses for about 24 years.To me,my self-discipline with it has gotten very good,and I don't bet anything over what I agreed to bet with before the day started.To me,you're blaming gambling for your own lack of self discipline.When you say somebody has a gambling problem,you should be saying that person has a self discipline problem(because that is where the problem is...not that somebody gambles,but that they do it too much.)

So your basically saying as long as you can bet what you can afford, you dont have a gambling problem? People like Ken Ramsey or John Daly can not be labeled as problem gamblers because they have so much money and if by chance they run out like Daly did, they have the means to go out and make more by making commercials, wearing a hat or winning a golf tournament. Or in Ramsey's case step on teh toes of somebody in the business world. I dont believe it.

It is considered an acceptable alternate spelling.Don't you know that? I haven't had the desire to eat them for a long time(I don't eat starch or sugar.) My foot hurts.My big to hurts,but the rest of my toes are fine. I was working hard in my yard yesterday(putting my ho in the ground.)You know how heavy them damn hoes can be.


This site below is for Gander.When he gives up gambling, he will need other hobbies.Taters will come in handy.

By the way,Kev,I am looking for a damn good backho.Matter of fact,one that I can dig good and deep with.Some of the cheap ones smoke,and tend to overheat.I don't want one that breaks down on me when I most need it to accept the task at hand.Good backhoes can be very useful indeed.

A good backho is very rare and incredibly hard to find...
