plenty of "sane" people do have the cash required & the balls to have a go, my old mate is a perfect example

the 1st time i witnessed his doubling up prowess i recall being stunned to put it mildly, & the old ************ did clean up that day. from memory he kept that run going for a couple of weeks, winning every day at the casino &/or tab, then gave it all back + his stake & more within a couple hours

fun? for some who can genuinely afford it
lose the job/house/wife/kids? for the rest who cant
