(Misery subreddits are the ones you gawk at -- think of r/meth, r/breakingmom, r/loveafterporn, r/gangstalking, r/problemgambling, etc -- which are usually better and more horrifying reads than anything else you'll find online in 2025)

The Habs are going to win this series against Carolina. It's going to be tough but not as tough as the last two. Habs in 6.

Please don't bet on that. Or anything. Put the money in your kid's education fund or your RRSP or the mortgage or ANYWHERE except feeding it to the lords of gambling.

Hey @wertwhile.bsky.social - I think a lot of it has to do with how shocking the complete gambling downfall can be. And the ability of the Industry to identify and then target potential addicts. www.reddit.com/r/problemgam...

The money, time & effort you put into this 🤨
CashConnect ATM - installed in a 'conspicuous' place directly across the road & a short walk from the Hellenic Club in WODEN...& doesn't carry the same withdrawal limits as the ATMs in the club What a disgrace!

@murderxbryan.bsky.social you should know that some people mistakenly post on r/problemgambling not because the have a gambling problem but because they have a problem gambling. Like they can’t get their free bonus bets from DraftKings and they need advice.

I know I'm not a man saying this but my transport agency has been putting up gambling help ads like crazy on busses and stations like Pic related.
PSA from Massachusetts Department of Public Health: Do you know someone who struggles with gambling? Text is white on a dark blue background while the word "gambling" is highlighted in reddish orange. Next line of words say: Get support at mass.gov/problemgambling. On the right bottom is the QR code to the same URL.

Losing More Than Just Money?

That thrill of the bet can quickly turn into a relentless chase. Gambling addiction isn't about a few lost dollars; it's about losing control, relationships, and your peace of mind.

Is Gambling Addiction Really an Addiction?
It is easy to classify gambling addiction as a medical condition, but problem gambling is better understood as a behavior driven by rational choices and the thrill of excitement.
