One button bandits have been in Victoria for some time now and they are an unmitigated disaster. If you plot their concentration you will find they are all in poorer suburbs.
I am sure the damage they do is far greater than any revenue that ensues due to their existence.
Hardly a week goes by without some unfortunate being convicted with missapropriation of millions of dollars all lost to the pokies. This is the all too visible tip of the iceberg! If you can't win by investing millions how the hell can you win by only investing your weekly wage?!!
My grandfather taught me that of all the major 'sins' of man, wine women and gambling. Only gambling is not inherently self limiting.
I have watched people lose the equivalent of an 80ED in twenty minutes. An FSQ 106 takes only a bit longer. A Paramount in the high rollers room less than a night!
