Frito:

I'm glad you are loaded to the gills financially and that your gambling is equivalent to an old lady buying a lotto ticket. If you are not into high stakes gambling, then what type of gambling do you do if it is a problem? Horses, dogs, casinos, bingo? In my opinion, if you only throw a couple of bucks into the slot machines, then you are over exagerating your gambling problem. If you are betting 5K on a flip of a card, then you do have a problem. High stakes is a matter of degree for the wealthy like yourself.

Good luck in your endeavors. But remember,a drunk and his money soon part.
