I start in small subtle ways promising many things,
I promise you enjoyment and pleasure beyond your wildest dreams,
I deliver guilt and despair more horrible than your worst nightmare,
I promise you power and courage,
I give you feelings of powerlessness & hopelessness,
I will force you to live in fear always,
I promise you relief and escape from all your daily problems,
I create for you greater problems than you ever imagined,
I promise you many friends but
I allow you only isolation.
I promise happiness but
I create much sorrow.
I will steal from you your dignity,your families,your friends,your children.your homes,your demons.your spirit & your life.....For love, freedom & happiness are impossible in my presence.
So NEVER UNDERESTIMATE ME
I am devious & manipulating,
I have no preferences as to who I pick as my victim, rich or poor, young or old, black ,white, yellow or red.
I have killed men, women and children,
I have no conscience.
So if you have met me, always be aware if you think you can beat me... that I will be gone from your life and all will be well again.
NEVER FORGET that I will always be there, waiting in the dark shadows, just around the corner.
I am very patient and I will laugh in your face if I can lure you into my evil world of hell on earth again.
I really like this, it gives a chillingly real aspect of gambling inside the brain.

I need to Imprint this on my brain permantly
This is the reality. ..I'm going to copy on a card and keep it...will read it every so often...thanks for sharing
How very true.....thank you for sharing.
Love this...have this on a little card in my wallet and read it every so often
The horse to place, a ball to land, that miracle card
To win the hand.
Its all we think and all we want, but its
Everything we really dont.
What comes with it is ups and downs, followed
By the deluge of shame in which we drown
Its poisenend tide pollutes our mind, and destroys
Relationships with all we find.
Friends, family, lovers are all pushed away,
Untill alone and broken we remain.
Our only friend that stays by our side,
Is the gambling demon who we constantly fight
It reassures us that we are right, to continue
On our destructive plight
Its every body elses fault its certainly not mine
That we end up broke all the time.
Its because of their stress and hassles we feel
Gambling is the only escape and way to heel
Heartbreaking but true poem.
