We often talk about seeing many people lose everything due to gambling, especially since most of the people around gamblers are also gamblers. So, we may get used to it, but the ones who truly witness it frequently are probably the dealers in the casinos. They watch as people gradually lose their money.
I have a cousin who works as a dealer, and we often keep in touch. She knows that I gamble online, and every time she sees someone at the casino losing everything, she calls me to advise against gambling.
I remember her telling me about a customer at her table who ended up losing over 2 million, probably wiping out everything. He collapsed on the table, crying loudly, and the manager had to call two security guards to escort him out.
Such customers are quite common, and there are even more dramatic cases. People shout and scream after losing money, flipping tables, and even assaulting the dealers. Luckily, there are security guards around, and at the first sign of trouble, disruptive customers are escorted out.
She also mentioned that it's best for customers to leave quickly after gambling and not engage in conversation with her. Spending too much time at the table almost guarantees losses. Many people, after losing money, transform from polite and cheerful individuals into annoying, chest-beating, table-pounding troublemakers.
For those who come with the aim of making money, the vast majority leave disappointed. To win big, one must be prepared to lose big. The greater the risk you can bear, the larger the potential reward. There are no easy gains in this world.
She witnesses every day how money is such a terrifying force. It can instantly change a person, and sometimes, it can be said to destroy them. |
