Gamblers' brains have unique chemistry

Brilliant. It's not gamblers' own fault that they gamble it's a new-found chemical that absolves them from responsibility. How long before you can claim benefits re your gambling losses?

Interesting article. However I do not agree with their argument that gamblers show reduced sensitivity to a financial loss. You only need to look at www.gamcare.org.uk and read some stories on it to notice that gamblers are really very sensitive to a financial loss and experience the pain. They just cannot stop gambling for some reason. "Reduced sensitivity to a financial loss" is actually a trait of advantage players who do not care that much if they win or lose as long as they played +EV game.

They want to make drugs to solve this issue. Brilliant, just brilliant.

I guess the more medical conditions you can dream up, the more people you can poison and make a killing.

Remember the government's billion pound bird-flu vaccine that didn't work lol

Yep, the NHS will be picking up the bill of course. 'Drugs for all' should be their motto.

My brother gambles a bit. I've never really seen it bother him very much at all.

He's not ill though. He's just a dic*head.
