No one gets hooked until the money starts coming in. I have several friends with real deal gambling problems and if you look in their eyes when they're winning, you'll see that their pupils are dilated and from my own experience, the heart starts pumping hard. It's a physical/emotional and psychological thing . . . like cocaine.
