When making a lot of money from my websites, I got addicted to gambling. Gambling is like a drug but more addictive. You get a high when you hit the jackpot or bonus on the slots, which is what I was playing.

I was so addicted at one point that I would dream about playing slot machines. I would drive to the casino in the middle of the night when the money came into the bank account; I would go. I even drove in winter storms and blizzards.

The addiction was powerful after a few years; I would go with 10 and 20 dollars. The casino was an hour’s drive.

All because the casino promised something that was missing in my life, which was fun. They don’t advertise to win big money. They advertise to come and have fun.

After it stopped being fun, I was addicted. I would even gamble with rent money. It took years to overcome my addiction. I realized that I would never win. The slot machines are designed to look like you will win a million dollars, but nobody ever does.

The casino is made to look like it creates winners but it creates horrible addicts who lose all their life savings. The best way to win is not to play. No formula or combination will let you win every time it is all random.

It is a roll of the dice. Nobody ever beats the odds. The machines give you a false sense of control, but when you lose, there is no restart button. Gambling is not a way of making money it is a way of losing precious time and energy pressing the same few buttons repeatedly.
