One of the coolest things I have ever heard.

Came looking for this question. Please OP.

What the fuck is with that guy and taking his shoes off?

Wow this exact same thing happened to me except that it was with the game's currency which was not that much. Lost it all on blackjack doing martingale. It does win you quite a bit but it's just like a neverending spiral. You keep losing but you know you'll win it back... until you hit the max bet. Then you know you should stop but you have already become so obsessed with "winning it back" and your brain makes you believe that you could not be so unlucky that the next game would lose again. And this just happens until you lose everything.

Thankfully it was not an expensive game but it made me punch a hole through my monitor. But I do understand where this man is coming from. Gambling addiction sounds stupid but it pulls you in like a blackhole in a matter of days. No matter how smart you are the power of greed will defeat any human being.
