## Transcript

I traveled to Las Vegas and spent 48 hours with a gambling enthusiast to understand the psychology of addiction. I spent
Las Vegas. I arrived, checked into the hotel, the hotel, and started posting an ad on a website called Craigslist. I asked to see anyone with a gambling addiction and was willing to pay them to watch them gamble,
film them, and understand the nature of their addictive behaviors. [Music]
first person to contact me. His name was Scott, and I understood from his words that he had recently moved to Las Vegas. It seemed he was there because he liked the idea of ​​gambling. I'd
gambling, lose money, and still gamble. I would pay him 150 dollars and give him 100 dollars at the end of the video, or I would pay him to film the video itself. He understood, okay, so he started gambling with the 150 dollars
I gave him.  When he played, he started winning. Of course, he went to play
luck, or depending on how you bet. We throw the ball, and it lands on a specific number. Each number also has colors, except for zero and two zeros, which are considered green. But you can place your chips, which are like money, in specific places on the
roulette board or table. After you place your bets, the dealer throws the ball. When it lands on a specific number, if you chose the number, you win 36 times what you bet. If you chose the color, you win double what you bet, and so on. He has a
specific strategy. He goes cash out. The winnings he made were 150. He doubled his winnings. He stops playing for fifteen minutes. He wins every 150. He doubled his winnings. He stops playing for fifteen minutes. He wins every four or five days. We played Hamaj. He made 150, 330. Oh, thank you. You
see, after I met Scott, he's one of the first types of addicts, the one who gambles. They call him a one of the first types of addicts, the one who gambles. They call him a casual gambler.
320 quarter could have done more than that if we stay there an hour.  Yeah, but you never know.  You might lose everything. Might lose everything.  But I was hot on So the problem with addiction people like if they win they want to keep it
win like a 5000 right now.  Yeah, you could.  You could you could you could but everything.  You might lose everything. And if you lose money, you want to keep your money.  So this is the problem like anticipation in the game itself.
put in. If the number comes up, he wins 36 times. This person is a casual gambler and has rules he follows. For example, if he starts winning, he wins well, then he stops and leaves the table because he knows that the more he wins, the sooner he will lose. Then he rests a bit, takes a break, as you saw, and comes back again to
play at the other table. He plays with 50 games, you play and you lose, he loses a 50 games, you play and you lose, he loses a game, he loses again. If he loses two consecutive losses, as actually happened to him the second time at the
other table, he leaves immediately to save losses. He lost $80, how much $
[Music] [Laughter] gamble, he'd lose, and he'd keep going. But right now, he doesn't have any money and he's using this
casual jumbled approach to make money. Like, he works as an Uber driver, for example, he makes 100 dollars and tries to make it 200, 300, or 400. Or maybe he'll just get lucky, like he messaged me the next day saying he won $1900 out of the 200 and a bit he had left the day we met. So, it was a lot of fun.
Look how he lost. He started losing and quit because if he kept going, he'd lose all his money. The problem is that anyone who gambles and has an addiction problem like mine will start playing, win, and then want to keep going. This is when the winning stops. Then he goes back to playing, starts losing, stops losing, and quits
quickly. He wins, but only half of what he was winning. If he keeps going, he loses. He wins, then loses his money. Unfortunately, that's how most people go. They have an action problem.  This true addict. This is someone whose life is practically on hold, who's losing money. Our protagonist is a young man
named Jeremy. His gambling addiction led him to move from Washington to Las Vegas, where he lives and takes his wife and daughter with him. And to add insult to injury, he had a good start. This is something I've noticed is common among all the problem jumblers who have a real addiction problem: they
have a real addiction problem: they win huge profits in the beginning. He won
$1,300. This was in the online jumble on SportGames. I just want to tell you about Jeremy's journey with me in the jumble. He explained how the game works. He enters, sees how much he has, usually starting with $500. He plays blackjack first. The idea is that there are several
rules. The main rule is that if you have two cards, you either tell the dealer to give you another card, or you say...  He's done, that's enough. The one closest to 21, or exactly 21, is the one who wins. If you go over 21, you lose. Or if the dealer has a better number than you, closer to 21, you
lose. He starts to feel the spray. I filmed him winning or losing. He won the first period, from 150, then the first stage, 350, then he reached almost 400 or around 500, but then he lost almost all of it and had to around 500, but then he lost almost all of it and had to withdraw in the end to keep some cash.
So he took a corner like this to the side and rested there. make a jump somewhere with high spray, which is the is the sports foot.
Yeah, those are, but usually how do you do it? Name and I'm like, " do it? Name and I'm like, " You like
For example, five minutes. The race itself might take five minutes, ten minutes. It can be arranged in any way. For example, it can be arranged that this one wins, this one comes in second, and this one comes in third. No, he put all his money on this one to come in first. Even the guy himself, the dealer or the person who sells
the tickets, said to him, "Is it possible that this one will win?" But this is evidence that this person is actually just looking for a profit. that this person is actually just looking for a profit. Yeah.
first and second bets because that's a known fact. We're in the analysis section, of course, and they give you that information so you understand the might win on the second bet since this person is strong. He said no, and actually, he kept betting, betting, betting, and he was going to win on the first bet, this person is strong. He said no, and actually, he kept betting, betting, betting, and he was going to win on the first bet,
because he knows he can't continue. Of course, he had some money left. He usually finishes there and goes back to playing blackjack. If he has money left, he'll still have change, like what happened with us. He played slot machines with it, which is the last option. So
notice how his ranking is like this: if he makes money from his bets, he goes and plays blackjack.  The strong spray is coming, whether he wins or loses, of course. He'll be playing for a bit on the horses, and he's always betting. He'll come back again, playing blackjack if he has some change left. He'll play slot machines if he keeps winning, and he'll keep going for two or three days.
slot machines if he keeps winning, and he'll keep going for two or three days.
years and years and years. I expect he's around 25 or 26 now, and he's stuck with problems because he's been homeless twice. He lost everything because of the addiction and he can't stop. It's amazing how the
mean, excuse me, he doesn't need to respond to the ad I made, like, $150 or $200, so we can take a picture together and you can tell us about it, because the guy already has a business too, but he puts all the money he takes from the business into gambling. And unfortunately, he keeps playing and keeps playing, he doesn't lose.
Business like total for like the year, I think it was like 500,000 total, you know, minus expenses, some of that stuff. It's not all profit, like what was sold, yeah, but  You blow it away, everything with g, everything, how, how do you
like? You pay for rent in advance just to make sure that you rent, yeah, like my monthly bills, like the total here. I pay like 4000 for all my bills a month, everything like my bills a month, everything like
do. No, I'm not going to mention the style of play here, so we can understand the problem. A problem is someone who doesn't care about winning or losing. style of play here, so we can understand the problem. A problem is someone who doesn't care about winning or losing. while, of course, one likes to win so they can keep playing, but they don't like winning for the sake of winning itself. Right
but they don't like winning for the sake of winning itself. Right now, they like the rush. This rush is called a rush, and it means a storm of emotions that happens to them when they start playing, whether they win or lose. And do you know, my friend, that scientists have discovered that even when a gourmet or anyone else loses, anyone with a
problem feels the feeling of doyen even with the loss? And this is the problem, and it's the problem of gambling addiction. So even losing gets addictive, and you don't even realize it. And the problem is, if you win, you'll keep playing, playing, playing.  Lee Germier mentioned that during the years he moved from the Van Dammek casino, there were
days when he would spend two or three days playing. I saw people who would even fall asleep at the gambling table or on the slot machines—the ones they play for luck. After seeing these addicts, I concluded that the problem isn't just with them; they might be victims of a larger monster, the casinos.
them; they might be victims of a larger monster, the casinos. this is the psychological effect. If we analyze the psychology of casinos, it makes you unable to decide where to go; it makes you go with the flow. Besides that, you'll find the carpet, the walls, and
all the other places have very little decoration, but the games feel like they have lights and decorations that attract you, as if you're lost or in darkness. And that's where you'll find sleep. Of course, they hire experts to study how addicts think or how they manage to make them addicted in the first place.
For example, when you enter  There's one thing you might find is that the signal is always weak, so you lose contact with the know the time. One of the things Jeremy was talking about was that if he won, he would play for two or three days without sleeping. I even filmed and talked about people who would fall asleep
on their own from exhaustion and continuous training. The point is important, that he doesn't feel the time. Jeremy wants to change, and I actually suggested to him the idea of ​​coming to our resort to recover because, honestly, the guy really touched my heart, and I felt he was looking for a solution. Even his approach to me was just because
he wanted to talk about the subject; it was the first time he had spoken about it. This is Bot Cans Soul Resort.
they work out in the mornings for a few months? We have coaches with us. I want to invite you; you mornings for a few months? We have coaches with us. I want to invite you; you
Western societies make things seem normal, like you're doing gambling. Sometimes they don't highlight the problems that exist. Of course, people who are addicted or have become regular customers have a different system. It's like memberships where you spend more money each year, you upgrade
your membership, for example, you become Diamond, then Platinum, and so on. For example, if you've been away for a while and they know you're coming to play, they'll call you and tell you to come over for a free suite for three days. They want you to come and play. This is one of the tricks they use. They give you free meals and
in these casinos, especially in Vegas, feature the most famous DJs in the world. They try to make you feel important and like you're part of their family so you stay connected to them. So even when you lose money, you feel like you're losing money to someone else.  Your family, that
group, are spending money on you, giving you rooms, offering discounts, giving you priority, and so on. That's why, like I told you, we advise you never to try it because you might not know when you'll win big or get hooked. I know you're happy if you win, but this
will hook you and make you love gambling, and you might not be able to get out of it, like what happened with our friend I noticed he's convinced he wants to quit, but he's not convinced that gambling is wrong because it's legal everywhere. He's convinced he wants to quit, but I'm telling you, there are people who play and aren't addicted.
I told him, "My friend, you have a personal addiction problem, and gambling itself is the problem." It definitely started in Arab countries, thank God, they've banned gambling because they know how addictive it is. And now there's something even worse, which is online gambling. I could
make a whole episode about that if...  I liked it. I hope you will also encourage Germain in the comments in English if you want, so that he can recover, so that we can also film an episode with him like we did in six months also film an episode with him like we did in six months or a year, when he is recovered and has returned to the family and sorted out his
wants to change, but these things that are stuck in his head are from the convictions that I mentioned before. his head are from the convictions that I mentioned before. Right.
