But where has it all led? His credit rating shot, Tom cannot even open a checking account. He is maxed out, not only on his own plastic but also on five credit cards belonging to two "investors" in his ticket-scalping business. "I'm not taking their calls," he says, "because I can't pay off their cards.

"The hardest part?" he adds. "I'm always scared, always depressed and sad. I ruined my life. I messed up my life, my academics, my friendships. Just don't gamble. Don't do it."

First thing that went through my mind while reading this paragraph...

"Mm hmmm, yes, OK... but... what's it like for people who DON'T suck at gambling?"

Nice one, Rob.

I was thinking the same thing. You lose every day? Man, give it up, you suck.

Don't forget this great line to finish his section:

Tom sighs heavily and pushes himself away from the table. "I lost everything," he says. "That's the end to every gambling story."

Its time this guy hang's it up. Find some help and get out of it.
