FC: Bally’s drops out of Nittany Mall casino project in State College

Yeah, there are a million “retirement destroyed” stories on the ‘net. It’s sobering. Outside lottery tickets ($10 a week), I never gamble. The way I look at it, the house will make its money somehow and more likely than not they’d be making their money off me. Lottery tickets? It’s a joke but I don’t go beyond that so, no big deal in the end.

I do not gamble either other than a $2 mega millions or powerball if the jackpot is greater than $300m. I also know that it is a waste of my $2. But the headaches I would deal with if I won... I don't think I'd want to.

Gambling is just like any other addiction. If some wants to destroy their life…..well…..no one is forcing them to do it.

Yeah but when you screw over 50 people that thought they were going to Italy and probably will never see their money back it's more than destroying their own life.

My elderly neighbor blew through her husbands $200,000 pension and ran up credit cards around $80,000. She passed away and the kids had to sell the house and put her husband in a home to pay the bills she ran up off.

What other addiction does someone pick up at 70?

I've know your takes after many years here though and it doesn't surprise me with this one.

Yawn. You might be surprised to learn I am someone who was screwed over by a gambling addict. Multiple times. And I still don’t care.
