How often do problem gamblers win money ?

    Often enough to keep them addicted, but not often enough to prevent them from getting deeper and deeper in debt.

    Short answer: never.

    The point is that people with a gambling problem will play back whatever they win, until they lose it all.

    They don't.

    I am proof!

    Spent probably at least $100,000.00 over 40 years and NOTHING to show for it!

    If they won more than they lost it wouldn't be a problem.

    "Honey I just won $25,000. - no problem

    "Honey we are losing the house" - big problem

    If you are playing Casino games with decent odds like Roulette, Poker, and Blackjack you will win about half of the time you play. The problem for a lot of people is not quitting while they are ahead and then the house odds start to catch up with them and they get their asses burnt.

    Generally, one out of every 20 times.
