Aramoro posted:But they would to win a bet. Problem gambling does not really hinge on if they have the money to lose. Problem gambling is when gambling dominates their life in an unhealthy way. most gambling addicts are addicted to the thrill of the gambling itself. People start doing poo poo like point shaving/taking dives/etc when the need for money takes over the dopamine (I think? I'm not a brain knower) rush of excitement. That's why the trope is 'down on his luck boxer takes a dive to cover debts' and not 'Mike Tyson decides not to shut a human being's brain off in one punch this one time because he likes to win bets'. Like, athletes get the thrill of winning by just being them when they're at Jordan levels, he was objectively the greatest player in his sport at his time, he could go out and take a poo poo on the court and still probably leave feeling like a winner. Beating someone in a bet is a nice bonus but he's getting that rush no matter what because people like him (trend wise, obviously everyone is different I'm just going by the usual situations) get their thrills from competing and gambling in itself.

Anytime a retail or food place says they're offering "between $X and $Y" they will only ever actually hire people for $X

rodbeard posted:Jordan makes so much money off of Air Jordan royalties that he effectively can't gamble away all his money because there's no one around to call his bets. Like I say, it's not about the money. Gambling addiction is a mental illness, just because you can afford it doesn't mean it doesn't negatively impact your life and make you act is very odd ways sometimes. Some people are like Lucian Freud who all but gave up gambling when he became rich as the winning and losing stopped meaning anything. But some people are like Bacon who never stopped gambling, despite their wealth.

Anyway, Scotland, Northern Island, and Wales want to be EU members anyway; the sentimental excuse "But the Queen" will vanish in the (absence of a) heartbeat.

Because of the troubles the Irish don't want to be part of the EU? I thought their beef was with those red faced dildos on main trash island.
