Most People Don’t Understand Winning

Posted by slipperytoad as Gambling

As many as one in ten people have turned to gambling to try to survive the recession, according to the charity Credit Action. Adrian Scarfe from gambling counselling service GamCare said more people are coming to them after trying to get out of the recession through gambling.

This is a worrying trend and predictable given the excesses of the last 12 years that need to be repaid as this is the only cure for debt. Our politicians and general public don’t seem to understand or grasp this simple fact.

I degrees.

Some bloke from GamCare believes the great unwashed don’t understand gambling, I tend to agree. However instead of treating us all as problem gamblers why are we not given positive messages and education about gambling?

My thesis was and is “the cure for losing is winning
Dr Howard Sartin – Clinical Psychotherapist

The Psychology of Winning: An Introduction to Win Therapy

I am one of the lucky ones to have copies of his research notes and books as applied to horse racing (the Sartin Methodology) and I for one am convinced that we can all be winners and not problem gamblers.
