I've been looking at this site & the posts for a while, I had a bad problem with on-line Poker/Roulette for 6 years, 2000-2006 , like a fog.Â
I'm into on-line chess now, teaches me a lot of patience, & it gives me better pleasure checkmating a guy from Russia on-line (no money involved) than getting money off Roulette, that's not skill.
Take care everyone, learn chess skill, it's good for you.
