Another gambling story...
One day, I was playing online poker. I ended up on a high stakes poker table. The last hand I played on that table involved me putting everything on the table. £250! I won the hand and pocketed £1000 from that hand, but when I sat and thought about how wrong it could have gone, it terrified me.

I, then, closed my account and uninstalled the software. I've never gambled since. It scared me how far I'd gone from a small stakes to a £250 hand! I still play small games with friends, but that's more of a social thing with a strict £5 limit per game (not hand).

Gambling is a dangerous game.
