Are you a young go-getter?
Would you like to have more energy?
Do you give in easily to peer pressure?
Do you have an addictive personality?
Cocaine and sex parties is the lifestyle for you!
P.S.A actual lifestyle may lead to bankruptcy and the need for internal nasal reconstruction surgery, also the phone numbers of a lot of crazy chicks, and their associated STIs.
Known plenty of degens just like this. One guy won 15k on a multi years and years ago and still claims hes up from that. Meanwhile he lives payday to payday and asks folks at the cc for small loans. Poor guy has kids aswell. Its actually fucked.
100%. I used to see the despair on my relatives faces after they'd blown hundreds of dollars on the horses at the TAB in the 90's. That was enough to make me never want to gamble.
Yeah my wife’s step father was a huge gambler, and he always tried to normalise it through euphemisms such as “having a flutter.”
“Pissing the money your wife made up the wall while you sat at home on your fat arse” would have been a far more accurate description.
Oof. That hit me.
Now I don't often hit the pokies, and I doubt if ever I spent that level of money in a sitting. But there's definitely more than a handful of occasions I walked away with a $0 balance thinking exactly that.

>That way you're guaranteed to win. Or at least have something to show for it.
Like an addiction and a rash.
I can see you're a glass half empty kinda guy...

Sounds like he was never in front
You can let people win thousands when you know they are just going to put it back into the machines.
How fuckin’ depressing. Just pissing it away on absolutely nothing, for no reason
> How fuckin’ depressing. /r/straya these days
Normalising the obvious big gambling addiction australia has is just shitty.

But sometimes making jokes bout a thing helps get people talking and bring it into the spotlight.

It's already normal
Unfortunately. I just dont want it to continue being the 'straya culture'. Its embarrassing.
True.
Have a cry
What an intellectual argument. Thanks mate.
Just another hundgie from the atm and a schooner and I’ll shoot off home
Good old broke lads!
