Some gambling occurs at the local liquor store or Seven-Eleven, like the little scratches.

Have you ever seen anybody standing at the counter, scribbling off? For a few fleeting moments there's excitement, exhilaration, hope, and optimism.

It's not that far from somebody who is investing high numbers on a risky investment, or someone who is in Las Vegas, or someone sitting at a poker table every Saturday night.

There's that physiological excitement and optimism and hope that draws the individual into it over and over and over again.

Some people have a stronger leaning; some people have had some substantial positive experiences, and they go back because it feels good; because there's hope and there's optimism versus going home to maybe an empty household where's there's no love or no warm feelings.
