I really wanted to address three main issues with my interview tonight on Perter J. Shield's World of unexplained Mysteries, that have have seen very little focus in the past.
1. That it is just as possible for winning professional gamblers to have "issues", as it is for busted out addicted gamblers...and that the line between "problem" and "no problem" has far less to do with winning and losing than people would like to think.
2. That complete abstinence is not the only way to treat problem gambling.
3. And lastly, why do so many people still gamble without an edge when there is more literature and software to help them play with an edge than ever before.
I would not say we achieved all these goals completely. These topics are so complicated, each could probably have filled an entire hour. We did the best we could with the time alloted.
If anyone wold like to continue the discussion on these points in the forum I'd be happy to chime in with any advice I can.

If you think gambling might be having any kind of negative impact on your life please contact Randi Farrell Vasquez at 702-451-4530. And remember here "negative impact" is not referring to loses of money.
Gambling has never been anything more to me than just a fun lucrative job, but I know it can be a very destructive force in many peoples lives. I really couldn't live with myself if I did not offer help to those that need it, along with teaching them how to become pros.
