I read somewhere that addicted gamblers are not motivated to continue gambling by the thrill of maybe winning, but are actually driven by the thrill of losing.... and the bigger the amount, the less able they are to afford it, and the greater the prospect of it ruining their lives, the better the thrill of losing is.
I confess my initial reaction to this was that it was clearly ridiculous, but perhaps it isn't as daft as it seems. I have noticed that whenever Durham perform badly, my post count goes up, far more so than when they do well. On days when they get blown away for a humiliating total, my post count goes through the roof, so I must be really enjoying myself.
I must remember to thank the boys later
