BETTING IS AN ADDICTION

I guess if you’re going to become addicted to something it may as well be sports betting. It can’t be worse than suffering from some other type of addiction, like crack. Can it? I mean, instead of being addicted to something that is either going to slowly kill you physically or suddenly kill you physically via an overdose, you’re addicted to something that’s draining your bank account, and possibly destroying your marriage, your career, and your family life. I suppose you can always file for bankruptcy, get another job, and get someone else to marry you. You can’t really repair your life if you get addicted to something that kills you. If I ever get into betting sports, it would probably be horse betting. I suppose it’s just because I like the fact that it involves animals, and the idea of going to a horse race is kind of cool since I’ve never been. I would love to have event tickets to a horse race. I wouldn’t even know where to begin, but I tend to have great beginner’s luck so I’d probably win in the beginning somehow then proceed to do something stupid, like get addicted and go lose my life savings, steal from relatives, pawn their furniture and jewelry, and finally achieve my lifelong dream of stardom by winding up on Intervention.
