Addicted or not. . . for me the result is also the same. That's why I only take a specific amount of money with me and when it's gone, it's gone and then so am I gone. :)
It's good to write about this addiction. . . I think it's a good reality check. :)

I had a difficult time choosing between yours and another poem. I drew straws and the other won out. I am giving six stars to your rating because as far as I am concerned the two I wavered between were the only two that actually made sense in this category. I am surprised yours has not received more votes as I think it is excellent.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Wise words here and the spiral of a gambling addiction is a sure way to become poor in the pursuit of a winning a fast buck. I remember once putting £1 into a slot machine and winning five! I walked away and made £4. I didn't get hooked! Love Dolly x

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written 5-7-5 poem. A gambler's world seems to be great for as long as they are winning. But chaos comes when they start to loose everything they try to safe.

This is an excellent 5-7-5. Addiction takes many forms and gambling is one of them. I feel grateful not to have this problem and feel for those who do. They won't quit until they hit bottom and go for help. Your 5-7-5 is written on an important topic and is presented well. Marilyn

Jaded, this is such a poignant message and many there are who will put their families in jeopardy by compulsively gambling away the money the family needs. Patricia

Comment from Brett Matthew West
Syllable count is correct.
Well written poem that uses descriptive language to show the spiraling downfall of most gamblers from high stakes to poverty and then on to pandemonium.
This adds another dimension to the posting.
Should make an interesting entry into this contest.
