A conditioned player never knows when to stop. Sophisticated psychological traps bait the unaware. A great write.

This poem describes so well the agony and ecstasy of gambling. A fool's paradise. Caused by self-conditioning. Endorphins released by the brain.++10

But in one heartbeat I was doomed To the status of a bankrupt man Lonely and destitute Citizen of my Motherland. Life is a gamble, mostly we loose, rarely we win. Still we love this gamble. A great poem.

‘The Joy and Pains of Gambling’ is a pragmatic write! I quote, “I love the action to death/But because of exhaustion/It is no longer relaxation/It ends up to sleep deprivation”. Thanks rose for sharing!
