Default My girlfriend is a losing gambler

My girlfriend and I both enjoy gambling. But, we've taken two different paths. While I have worked hard on my game and become a winning player, she has no interest in doing so. People play for different reasons and all so if she doesn't mind losing that's cool. the problem is, she does mind losing. Since she enjoys the gamble more than the strategy, I taught her about casino whoring figuring she could have some fun gambling and make some easy money to boot. The problem is she plays well after the wagering requirement is met (gambling when she has the worst of it) and either loses her money or barely breaks even. She has the money to lose, and in a couple of years of gambling, she hasn't lost more than $1,000 (probably more like $500) but after one of these sessions she becomes despondant and upset. And also, still basically believing that all of this is luck, becoming jealous that I make good money casino whoring and playing poker. It's a situation I'm not sure how to deal with. I've explained to her that it's not luck that I win money and it's not some innate instinct she's lacking either. I'm sure someone here must have been in a similar situation at some point, how did you deal with it?
