The average gambler will spend approximately $300 a night at a casino. They go to casinos up to 4-7 times a week. “Very few heavy gamblers walk out without losing about $500, I’ve worked at Casinos for many years and very little times I’ve seen people just walk away, but there are still those people who spend $10,000 a night.” As quoted from my grandma, Joanne Fredrickson, a former casino worker for 30 years.
But who really knows how much they actually spend inside the privacy of their own house? The advantage of playing a quiet game of poker with friends rather than online with strangers is that if you are playing with friends and co-workers they know you well enough to tell you to stop betting. If you were online however, they wouldn’t try and stop you from blowing all your money; they want you to lose all your money.
Casinos are sometimes just as dangerous as playing online, in some states there are laws saying you are not allowed to drink while gambling. But where it is allowed, they come and serve you drink after drink. By doing this the casino is hoping that if they get enough alcohol in you that you wouldn’t pay as much attention to what you are doing and become a little less aware of what is going on around you, maybe you wont notice just how much money you are losing.
People can only guess on how much the gamblers really spend each night, the only people who really know are the gamblers themselves. The gamblers who really have a problem deny that there is anything wrong and they lie to make it seem like they have everything under control.
Thousands of people are up late each night gambling online. If they aren’t careful chatting online, or if someone they have been chatting with for a couple weeks puts them into a false sense of security, they could by mistake give out the password to their account. If your password was to get into the wrong hands there could be devastating consequences. You could lose everything; they would have access to your credit card numbers, your bank account, and they would spend your whole life savings. Results of gambling could be life changing either in a positive or a negative way, they need to gamble safely.
