| Along with being enjoyable, you can get money from it if your good. But i would reccomend stay off gamlibng if your a complete newbie. But then again, there is "how do you get better then?" Some cons is that you can get cheated as well. |

| yes, thumperfive, you might be very proficient with gambling but you lack all the other skills that you need more in life, and JT, maybe you get better after all the practices, agree with you, not advisable really for newbies but build your confidence by practice and knowing the game really... |

But would you consider big gamblers as addicts? |

| Except, how much a person is doing, and at what rate, determines whether it is a hobby or an addiction. |

Yeah, MHJ, thats just like saying you bet for like 25 cents in a poker game. Not like your going to get addicted, cause its just a damn 25 cents.  |

The thing about an addict though is that they might start off small, betting 25 cents, however after a while the amount that they are willing to risk increases and then they start betting more and more. It is very easy to become addicted without even realising that you're addicted. |
