Читать книгу The Wolf of Gambling - M.Trojan - Страница 5

Being at the slot machine is very true to real life – the principle of contingency makes the winners. Only, at the slot machine you pay large sums of money for a small accidental win. There is nothing much else that will destroy life more systematically than the addiction to gambling. Nothing else destroys the soul in a comparable manner. Luck and coincidence cannot be compared to each other. It is just coincidence if you win something at the slot machine – but it is true luck if you don’t become addicted immediately.

With this book I would like to make an important contribution to standing up to the gambling industry. I’d like to do this as a counselor for gambling addicts and also as a person who became pitilessly addicted to gambling just like many others and was misguided by an illusion and many false promises. The time to pretend that these things don’t exist is definitely over and anyone who does not want to use this guide as a self-help book for gamblers may alternatively consider it as a kind of declaration of war because I will not stand by silently and watch how more and more people commit suicide due to their high gambling debts while the gambling industry generates billion-dollar sales and continues to make light of the dangers of gambling. At the end of the day, not the better PR adviser or those with the more effective financial means will win, but rather the truth will prevail; finally, the truth always prevails – I am truly convinced of that.
