Do you know why there are still Casinos around? And more often than not, they are FUCKIN EXPANDING their premises every several years WHILE donating millions to charity at the same time.
Simply don't go to Casinos. Ever. If you win, they know you will come back and either come even or more often than not, go negative.
Same thing with drugs. Simply don't do alcohol, weed, or hard drugs. Hell don't even smoke. BUT if you MUST, try your absolute best to moderate alcohol or weed or it will destroy your life over time. With hard drugs, there is no moderation. Just don't do those at all because those will destroy your life very quickly
I had a conversation with a very old guy some years back who told me how he wondered his life would have been if he hadn't taken acid around 30 years ago.
I still think about that guy whenever I see homeless mentally ill drug addicts all around me everyday. There are degenerate gambling addicts in the same situation.
