Winning feels good especially on a higher level like some of these athletes have an opportunity to every day facing off against the best in the world.
The problem is it's not so much the gambling but the winning that becomes an addiction...... At some point you spend yourself, your mind, body and soul chasing wins..... And winning becomes an addiction.
There is no higher euphoria sometimes...... But at some point you just have to know when to let it go..... And letting it go is a hard thing for the average man on a mental level even for some these best of the best in the world.....
The problem is even being the best..... Some men are never satisfied and you always want more..... There is the problem, learning how to be satisfied is a hard thing to do even being the best at whatever you do..... Men on average always want more and want to do better all the time even when they are already the best at something..... Inner peace is not an easy thing to attain sometimes even in the best amongst us and unfortunately no one is perfect and sometimes the soul just isn't satisfied even being the best and that is a problem many face unfortunately...... even the Pro Athletes or Millionaires...... sometimes all the money in the world and success on the stage of NBA/MLB/NFL isnt enough for some and we always want more as people and that is a problem one has to recognize and seek help........

It's a bummer, because I grew up in CO and Billups went to HS where my dad and uncle played, and was at University of Colorado and then in the pros while I was playing ball. He came back home to the nuggets the year I graduated. I met him at a couple things and looked up to him. Well technically I looked down on him because he's only like 6'3" but he was a local kid that made it.
But I'm pretty sure it's all true and he's going down in flames. That Miami game and the cheating was a topic of open conversation in high stakes poker circles for a while. Random people would tell you not to play that game.
