I went to a gamblers anonymous meeting once. (I live in vegas so there are like 10 a day if you look hard enough). I was mad that I had 'tilted' away 50 bucks playing blackjack. These guys were reliving their worst moments every day twice a day. One dude lost his house, another his retirement pension, a third all his savings and family (wife left) from playing .25 video poker!

I felt like a douchebag becaue I thought I HAD a problem. Nobody could relate to me because they lose 50 bucks before 4am every day. These fools were on the next level. I put 5 bucks in the folgers can and drank 3 cups on the way out.

What would happen if you trained a kid how to play from a young age? Would he become world class or a junkie? Is it all genetics?
