I bartend at a casino and when customers ask me if I gamble I say no they always say they wish they could trade places and start over. Pretty sad honestly
The difference between gambling and drug addiction, in my opinion is this - say you are an alcoholic with a job, you can only really drink until you fall down. You can probably financially sustain that for a long time. But with gambling - you can be totally sober and lose your whole bank account in a day. There's no limit to how much money you can lose.
Yes, unlimited.. I won a scratcher worth 2 thousand dollars this year, went to the casino with it and left with nothing.. thankfully I don't borrow money ever.. I would be in complete debt
Another thing is drug addiction usually destroys lives and mentalities, there are rich gamblers that lose hundreds of thousands but don’t go broke, so it’s not seen as a issue
And to gamble alongside drinking is poison. I’ve learnt that myself. Consistent gambling is a problem, you can never beat the bookies, hence the saying “gambling is a mugs game”. There’s a reason there still in business and there’s a bookies on every street corner. It will ruin your life. I hope there’s people out there that read this and believe a strangers experience, I promise you will appreciate this. Be strong and don’t let it mess your life up.
@@vrz2000 Oh yeah, gambling is made out to be very glamorous! There's a reason why film stars never have to pay for a hotel suite in Vegas - just the fact that someone super famous is there draws people in, and causes the 'regulars' to stay longer and gamble more than usual. The casinos love a high roller! If a rich guy is putting down 10k at a time on a table, it causes the people around him to bet more. They don't want to look poor and uncool in front of everyone (usually complete strangers!). It becomes a d*ck measuring contest, and the person who bets the most "wins" that contest, but usually takes a heavy financial loss doing it. There's some very interesting psychology behind all of this. It's all about making people feel they have to bet more and keep gambling for longer. The casinos aren't there to provide a place for famous people to hang around and be admired - but they allow that because it makes more money!
My dad was a casino dealer for almost 50 years. He told me “Drug addicts are better off than gambling addicts, because at least they get something for their money and it’s easier to get help for their addiction.”
My grandad put me off gambling when i was about 5 or 6. We were going to the shops and saw a brand new rolls royce and my grandad told me the man whose car it was owned the betting shop and he's the only man in the betting shop who wins every day and that car was paid for by the customers always losing.
I went to the casino once when I turned 21 I'll never go again cause I can see myself getting addicted.....first day gambling I turned $10 into $200 then lost it all again
Im an addict. Good on ya. I have lost 150k in around 12 years. The good news is I stopped stealing once I went to treatment. Still have relapses all the time though.
@@DrJuiceMD you realize thats the same as telling an alcoholic to just not drink. I mean ya but its deeper then that. The brain has been re wired and will never be the same it takes treatment, therapy and self exclusion.
sfdg thytn Yes but it’s a little different. You really have to make an effort to go the casino. They sell alcohol everywhere you go. Also it’s not like you have withdrawal symptoms, it’s all psychological.
@@DrJuiceMD Will all due respect no its not. Gambling is even easier then get because of online and at gas stations they have lottery machines in most states. I do ban myself from online sites though.
gambling will put a guy who makes a 100k a year in a one bedroom apt in a shitty area while his friend in same job who dont gamble owns a house on a lake
@@Afed390 The house always wins, I dont know a single person including myself who hasnt won a couple hundred gambling and then over the next few years spending thousands chasing that same dopamine high. Get on the Caffine pills and go work out, the dopamine from that will be way fucking better then gambling
You know your a gambling addict when his stories make you physically sick because you don't want to be stimulated by it, but you are. But you have to watch it because you need to heat their positive message
I like how Diaz says the full name of the person he's talking to every other sentence. I want to see him talking to someone with a long ass name like Giannis Antetokounmpo. "Listen to me, Giannis Antetokounmpo, that shit is crazy, Giannis Antetokounmpo."
i worked with a guy that was a hardcore alcoholic who lost everything including his wife and son, he went into a locked rehab facility for 9 months and quit drinking, but he then took up slot machines and was drinking black coffee with sugar all day he said it worked out better for him financially to be a drunk because he could spend $10 on a bottle of vodka, pass out and start a new day - whereas at the slot machines he could lose his entire 2 weeks pay within an hour
As a carpenter, I worked with a guy, in 1994, John. He, his wife, and retired housewife, mother-in-law all went to Lake Tahoe, on A Saturday, just to gamble, for the day. They each had $500. They set up to meet in the lobby of the casino/hotel four hours later. He said he lost his budget right away and waited in the lobby first. His wife shows up at the meeting time, and she won $1200. His wife's mother walks up an hour late. She stops in front of his wife and inhales and while she exhales she says, "I lost everything." John said, "I lost all my money three hours ago. She inhaled again and said in her exhale again and said, "No, I lost everything!" Turned out she lost her house, cars, and her husband's retirement. Her husband left her and she had to move in with John and his wife. John was not happy.
@@OneOut1 casino credit. some casinos have credit systems, where u can take out loans basically and gamble with credit. she may have racked up a ton of casino loans, worth more than her house or car.
My mom worked at a big casino as the person who paid out the winnings..she had some unbelievable stories. People would seriously try to stay there for days. They would be so disgusting and stinky that security would make them go into the bathroom just to wash themselves in the sink..I never thought of gambling as a real addiction until I heard her stories. Edit: one example is when an older lady died while on a slot machine and the cops had to break up people who were fighting to get on the machine she was playing because there was still money in it. The poor lady was on the floor with EMTs trying to save her and people were fighting over the money she had left in the slot machine. You'd be surprised how many people pass away in a casino every year.
@@carsonmills8228 full of shit about what part? Not to mention, I live in Pennsylvania so what we consider a "big" casino is nothing compared to Vegas..two totally different kind of places. The casino I'm talking about is mostly a race track.. there's always a bunch of crazy dirty hillbillies in there. You can say I'm full of shit all you want but I've seen some pretty fucked up shit go on there.
I went to the slot house looking for my ex after she FLED the manager told me after I described who I was looking for SHE WAS THE WORSE WE EVER SEEN. SHE WAS PLAYING HER SELF ALONG 8 LINKED MACHINES AT TIC TAC TOW piling money into all 8 machines playing her self as tho 8 different players and pi ssed her pants and just carried on
One of the most dangerous things about gambling addiction is that it's such a lonely disease. If you're an alcoholic, you have drinking buddies. If you're a heroin addict, you have people who you shoot up or steal with. Gambling is the loneliest addiction there is, and it's so hard to reach out for help due to shame.
Not really. It’s easy to spot other degenerates at the casino, I usually make light hearted comments about our mutual addiction as my way of connecting with my fellow addict. It’s not really that shameful in my opinion either, I mean, it’s definitely a really pathetic thing admitting that your brain can easily be hi-jacked but everyone I’ve told has been understanding.
I had a bad gambling addiction. Didn't lose my house but defintely lost probably over 100k in my life. Getting over it now though... it's just not worth it... 35 years young, don't wanna be a Degenerate till I die. I would stay up all night gamble on foreign sports to keep the action going. Joey knows. It can get bad, anyone struggling, better to quit now before it gets worse.
lol yeah the degenerates, i see them and think FFFFOOOK im just having fun instead of buying lottery tickets or scratch offs or playing shitty slots, i get more fun/entertainment longer with $50 that way you know. Degenerates go hardcore, hard in the pain, $50 is half their nights drinks tab
gambling consumes you like nothing else. You can't enjoy ANYTHING in your life because all your attention is on "luck" for that day or week. Over time it destroys your relationships with loved ones. It also leads you to incredibly deep depression. Got away from it after years od addiction, and it's easly the biggest "win" i ever achived in my life.
@@floydgondolli7321 my decade long relationship broke because of it and i could not run away from truth any more. My first move toward saving myself was admitting to myself i'm addict that needs to stop, and seek help if needed.
@@hardver8855 well seeking for help is already great first step toward better life. Find person of trust or psychiatrist to talk about and tell her/him everything . Once you start talking your wall will start to break and you will see how miserable you are and how much of a slave for gambling you are. And somehow it will help you understand that only way out is to quit. Money issue is issue, but you won't solve it by gambling more, it will just make it worst. Emotional side of problem is way more important to solve and figure.
@@gulinp1thanks man. Just ruined my 5 years relationships with gf cuz of gambling and I’m pretty sure I’m done Gonna visit gamblers anonymous or whatever this thing is called to get some support and after almost 10 years of sports betting I’m fucking done for real
Thank you Joey Díaz. I won $3100 couple weeks ago and have kept going back for past 3 weeks and lost $5000 overall. I keep telling myself to stop but I keeping thinking “Today is my lucky day” . Just came back from casino and lost $2000. Needed this
Hope you’re out bro, best to invest the money in a side hustle and turn it into a business, no need to waste money on the chance of winning money when you just end up losing money
My man, when I was 16 I started learning how to play poker. By age 20, I had mid six figures. If I had just taken out a fraction of that and put it into an index fund, I’d be a millionaire by now. Instead, I developed a habit, ended up a heroin junkie, and blew through almost a million dollars in the last decade on drugs. I got clean a year and a half ago and started saving. $10K in the stock market. Slowly but surely within 10 years, I’ll have a million, but I can never go back to playing cards full time even as lucrative as it was for me because it destroyed me. It’s all an illness, even for the winners because having too much money that felt like it came easy and cheap… it’ll make you pay somewhere else. Give it up man. There’s no winners in this game and what you’ve got to do to be a winner makes you a loser.
To anyone who hasn’t walked into a casino, its kinda sad to see some lady in her 70s chain smoking Virginia slims playing the nickel slots for the three hours straight lol
Things I like to remember is how the games are designed to exploit your logical decision making, how long I have lost and how much I sacrificed for it. It disgusts me but I realise how hard it was to simply let it go. That's gambling addiction. The virus helped me separate from it. Being kicked out of my problem gambling group helped. A whole lot of pain helped. Realizing what else I can do with all that money and time helped. Fuck gambling.
its sad that Gambling Addiction for many years was never properly classified as a full-blown addiction, and many people didn't get the help they need, in the same capacity that alcoholics or drug addicts get. to this day, gambling addiction is still misunderstood by many. its awful. I would rather be a drug addict than a compulsive gambler
I'm fine smoking a blunt. nothing wrong with that. hard drugs would be preferable to having a gambling addiction. a junkie with a needle in his arm in an alleyway next to a dumpster garners more sympathy than a gambling degenerate, because people will just say,"why don't you just stop." it's like, if a gambler could "just stop" they would but its an addiction like any other
Adam Freedman When it comes to burning through cash no addiction comes close to gambling. It's downright scary what lengths gambling addicts will go to to keep gambling. The risks they'll take.
Your so right. I grew up when online poker was really popular like mid to late 2000s, soon was addicted to a lot of other forms of gambling and even skill games. Man I tell ya its awful.
@@jamesroboyle They have done studies that winning a hand in online poker is similar to taking a line of cocaine. You can play thousands of hands in an hour. Even if your reward system is fine to start it can get fucked up. I am a gambling addict.
When my grandma was alive, my grandparents lived in Vegas most of my life. They lived in a mobile home park basically in squalor due to her gambling addiction. She would spend her checks, take my grandpas checks, my uncles, and just whatever money she would get.. she’d go to the casino with. If she won, she’d lose it all trying to win again. My grandpa had been wounded in war and my grandma had done more damage mentally over the years. What I’ve learned from it is sometimes it hurts you more to hold on hoping they’ll change
Unlike "normal drugs" where there's also dopamine and adrenaline, etc, they must have this "hope" of reaching their goal, the jackpot which'll make their life better
I worked in a Vegas casino as security for four years. I watched people gamble eight hours a day. I could only play slots after work. Thank goodness I moved away. So addictive. I spent so much. Now not a cent. Wow.
Difference with gambling addicts and drug addicts, there are signs and tells to when someone is a drug addict. it's normally too late to help the gambler, as you can easily hide it, and easily accessible. I believe gambling addiction is just as bad if not worse the drug addiction
Cocaine and gambling feels damn near the same to me lmao. I had money on Leon Edwards to beat Usman by KO and when it happened after he was being dominated I felt higher than I ever have on cocaine lmao.
I was put off gambling when my grandad pointed out to me that you never see a poor bookmaker and the bookies in my town were the richest people in the town as there’s a lot of degenerate gamblers where I live.
In the UK the one thing that gets advertised the most without any regulations is the national lottery. The national lottery is mostly working class people spending their money every week which then goes into the back pockets of the government and these "lottery funded" sports clubs which only middle class people can join. The idea that the government hates this sort of thing I think is wrong. Weed, gambling, alcohol and tobacco all have massive multi billion dollar lobbyist powers.
Lottery is a huge scam: The reason is not taxed is because the "Money" is paid out Tax Free: This means ALL of it; including the profits: To whom you will never know: Heres the scam: 50% of the total 100% it legally goes into the "Prizes" (So right there and immediately its halved) But from that 50% prize fund there is 28% is paid to the "good causes" Trust: TRUST: So now who do you trust? 28% of 50% from the 100% Yet no one is obliged to keep track of it as its non taxed money: Theres no profit in chasing or logging non taxed money as no one can be held to account: They simply mess with numbers and percentages: Get it now? If not then rollover so they may stroke you from underneath AGAIN: Its all a load of Balls and I mean Bollix:
Youre being purposefully naive with your scratchcard win: If you are on YT commenting about a scratchcard; I`ll take a gamble and bet you have adult common sense:
Hearing all of this is what I was raised into (brings back memories) I ran from it (gambling) and it's made my pockets not as empty, pleased to hear you know things about the pool hauls Joe Rogan
You only see the clip-worthy side of Joey Diaz on social media, when he’s screaming about trafficking drugs or waking up on a Monday, but outside of that, when he’s calm and talking normally, he has some serious shit to say. This was great. And almost the whole podcast with him is like this. It’s a shame social media only focuses on his other side.
I knew a guy who was working for a PMU (it's a french concept, it's a bar where you can also buy cigarettes, stamps and bet on horses or the lottery) and there was this client who as soon as he got his pension went to the PMU to bet everything he had on horses, while his wife was following him screaming that it was the only money they got in order to survive. Every month the same shit was happening. Really sad story.
My brother is a recovering alcoholic, and in rehab, he says the gamblers are the worst. One bet from living in luxury. I had another friend who's girlfriend spent all their money on a weekend in Reno. He went to bed, and when he woke up, she confessed to taking out and losing every penny they had. Both had just gotten paid, gone. Rent..nope. credit cards, maxed and gone. I had to loan him cash for about 3 months ( all of our circle of friends chipped in) to get back on track. She went to rehab, came out and it didn't stick, so he dumped her.
A person loses 30 Million dollars, the Casino always welcomes them, Dana White wins a couple of million and he gets Ban. You need a Licence to gamble. Fuck Gambling.
Joe Rogan talking about how gambling was about less than who won and more about who will quit first reminds me of how in the Mahabaharat between the Pandus and Kaurvas gambled. I think it relates because how though one side was losing constantly they kept going until it was beyond themselves to stop.
When covid hit, I seen all kinds of new faves in my local gas stations. Loading up on lottery tickets because the casinos were closed. I seen a guy, corporate looking and he got the most lottery tickets Ive ever seen someone get. Hopped in his nice car and left. I worked at casinos for a majority of my life and I couldn't imagine what the gambling addicts were going through.
I used to work at a club and there was a guy who came in for an hour every day Mon-Fri. Same as you said - Corporate look, really nice car etc. He used to stand in front of two pokie machines in the higher section.. min $5 every hit and just keep pressing both of them for the hour. There's no job, unless you're seriously elite, that can keep up with that kind of insanity!
When it comes to gambling addiction, there's no such thing as "having the means to gamble." A person with $50 in the bank will gamble up to $50. A person with $50 million in the bank will eventually gamble $50 million unless they get themselves in check. House of the rising sun.
Ex gambler here. Lost big time on options and tried to chase my losses with a huge sports bet. Of course the bet lost I ended up even more in the whole. Stomached the $45,000 cumulative losses and stayed away from that devil since. The key is to lose hope that you’ll make it back. Count the blessings in your life that money can’t buy and give those things your time and energy. The dopamine kick is real, it will make everything in your life so mundane that you won’t have any pleasure besides gambling. Especially nowadays when gambling can be done at your fingertips. Stay off those websites if you can.
betting became legal in canada about a month ago. literally every comercial break theirs at least 2 gambling commercials. they even paid Dave portnoy to come to toronto to advertise it. I feel bad for anyone dealing with gambling addiction in canada when it's literally shoved down your throat constantly whenever you watch a sports game
There days I couldn’t go home without gambling, couldn’t wrap my mind around not doing it for a day. I use to leave work early on payday to hit the casino and be broke before my shift woulda ended. Bout 2 years clean.
Joey is so spot on about that blue collar guy at 7/11 buying lotto numbers and putting them in to try and hit it big. I worked construction and I work on farms so I’m in the gas station five days a week and these middle aged guys are getting a pack of cigarettes, a coke, a sandwich, 5 different lotto tickets and playing all of them right there. The cashier rings them up and it’s $100-$150 every single time. All that seven days a week. It’s just a sad state. Joey is speaking facts here.
@@bigsmoke7381 ?? Such a weird take from someone who's clearly never struggled with addiction, an attempt to limit lives ruined by this shit should at least be made, dismissing it because you don't feel sorry for them and that they somehow deserved it is so wild. Have you never failed at anything in your life? How would you feel if someone who succeeded dismissed you by saying that "some people just don't have what it takes", we're all in this together
Both my mum and dad are gambling addicts. We lost everything, our familybuisness that we had for 20 yrs our house, cars everything.They blew up couple of million in the casino leaving only debt.

Money in a Gambling is an illusion... fantasy ..you win today ..you don't know the other day... You win this minute.. you don't know the other minute... Even if you won a million...as long as you don't stop gambling ... It will always be taken away... That's why my dear brother... Advise your family to never engage on gambling... It's so tough to fight against that kind of behavior when you are there... You can even do crimes because of chasing money... It says...easy money.... But they never spoke the words losing and gaining... They think easy money is gaining only not losing... Gambling is a waste of time but people are still doing it because of free will...
I’m glad they regulate it Bc it protects people from themselves, like man I have a small gambling problem and I really need to quit that shit, it’s just so easy to lose everything and I have enough self control to walk away but some people just can’t handle the rush, and they fuck themselves the most
My mother used to send me to school with $2 back in the 90s, and it covered alot $.50 butter on a roll toasted $.50 bummy soda $.50 two bags of chips $.25 little brown bag of candy, (sour strips) $.25 five pieces of bazooka bubblegum Those were the days I'm grateful 😥😁
Joey should be a preacher he's a wise badass OG who's got A LOT OF GOOD POINTS. People who gamble too much aren't bad people too much gambling IS an extreme problem that's destroyed so many good people and their lives.
Joey is right...in live in Mass and my girlfriend allways would go to Moehgan sun in CT. She would allways go with a big group friends. They all would bring hundreds, and they would play the desperate house wives slot machines (video game style machines) (flashy lights , loud audio/clips of the show) ...I would just watch them...they would get this crazy look in thier eyes, all would come back broke. Now imagine the the thousands that go there daily? That's why I don't fuckin gamble.

Completely agree with your dad, also they can only do so many drugs with gambling it’s limitless how much one can spend.
My grandad put me off gambling when i was about 5 or 6. We were going to the shops and saw a brand new rolls royce and my grandad told me the man whose car it was owned the betting shop and he's the only man in the betting shop who wins every day and that car was paid for by the customers always losing.

Am I addicted to gambling maybe
Watching this after a big loss hits different

Fucking hell thats funny
I’ve never seen anything as great as this... wow
I am DEAD. LMFAOOOO!
This conversation sounds like uncut gems
The movie makes a lot more sense now
I like how Diaz says the full name of the person he's talking to every other sentence. I want to see him talking to someone with a long ass name like Giannis Antetokounmpo. "Listen to me, Giannis Antetokounmpo, that shit is crazy, Giannis Antetokounmpo."
he would give that guy his own name

He cant even say stipe miocic right. He'd have a stroke trying to pronounce the Greek freaks name 😂😂

i worked with a guy that was a hardcore alcoholic who lost everything including his wife and son, he went into a locked rehab facility for 9 months and quit drinking, but he then took up slot machines and was drinking black coffee with sugar all day
he said it worked out better for him financially to be a drunk because he could spend $10 on a bottle of vodka, pass out and start a new day - whereas at the slot machines he could lose his entire 2 weeks pay within an hour
Damn, he needs to work on his self discipline...
what about his liver if that gets messed up thats it end of
As a carpenter, I worked with a guy, in 1994, John. He, his wife, and retired housewife, mother-in-law all went to Lake Tahoe, on A Saturday, just to gamble, for the day. They each had $500. They set up to meet in the lobby of the casino/hotel four hours later. He said he lost his budget right away and waited in the lobby first. His wife shows up at the meeting time, and she won $1200. His wife's mother walks up an hour late. She stops in front of his wife and inhales and while she exhales she says, "I lost everything." John said, "I lost all my money three hours ago. She inhaled again and said in her exhale again and said, "No, I lost everything!" Turned out she lost her house, cars, and her husband's retirement. Her husband left her and she had to move in with John and his wife. John was not happy.

Joey Diaz can tell me a story about watching paint dry and I would be all in.
My mom worked at a big casino as the person who paid out the winnings..she had some unbelievable stories. People would seriously try to stay there for days. They would be so disgusting and stinky that security would make them go into the bathroom just to wash themselves in the sink..I never thought of gambling as a real addiction until I heard her stories.
Edit: one example is when an older lady died while on a slot machine and the cops had to break up people who were fighting to get on the machine she was playing because there was still money in it. The poor lady was on the floor with EMTs trying to save her and people were fighting over the money she had left in the slot machine. You'd be surprised how many people pass away in a casino every year.
Jesus Christ bunch of hyenas 😂😂😂
I was at a casino in Md and a old guy died at craps table and not once did they stop the game while that guy was dying on the floor
@@carsonmills8228 whats full of shit
@@carsonmills8228 full of shit about what part? Not to mention, I live in Pennsylvania so what we consider a "big" casino is nothing compared to Vegas..two totally different kind of places. The casino I'm talking about is mostly a race track.. there's always a bunch of crazy dirty hillbillies in there. You can say I'm full of shit all you want but I've seen some pretty fucked up shit go on there.
I went to the slot house looking for my ex after she FLED the manager told me after I described who I was looking for SHE WAS THE WORSE WE EVER SEEN. SHE WAS PLAYING HER SELF ALONG 8 LINKED MACHINES AT TIC TAC TOW piling money into all 8 machines playing her self as tho 8 different players and pi ssed her pants and just carried on
I'm glad that I've never gotten into gambling. I hate losing money too much. No addiction burns through cash like gambling and it's not even close.
One of the most dangerous things about gambling addiction is that it's such a lonely disease. If you're an alcoholic, you have drinking buddies. If you're a heroin addict, you have people who you shoot up or steal with. Gambling is the loneliest addiction there is, and it's so hard to reach out for help due to shame.
Not really. It’s easy to spot other degenerates at the casino, I usually make light hearted comments about our mutual addiction as my way of connecting with my fellow addict. It’s not really that shameful in my opinion either, I mean, it’s definitely a really pathetic thing admitting that your brain can easily be hi-jacked but everyone I’ve told has been understanding.
nah
I had a bad gambling addiction. Didn't lose my house but defintely lost probably over 100k in my life. Getting over it now though... it's just not worth it... 35 years young, don't wanna be a Degenerate till I die. I would stay up all night gamble on foreign sports to keep the action going. Joey knows. It can get bad, anyone struggling, better to quit now before it gets worse.
I should’ve quit a long time ago. In way too deep now.
Degenerate
lol yeah the degenerates, i see them and think FFFFOOOK im just having fun instead of buying lottery tickets or scratch offs or playing shitty slots, i get more fun/entertainment longer with $50 that way you know. Degenerates go hardcore, hard in the pain, $50 is half their nights drinks tab
@@mindisreallygone3308 the way to get out of a hole is to stop digging my friend, you can quit today. Your life will be so much better.
Tell me about it
gambling consumes you like nothing else. You can't enjoy ANYTHING in your life because all your attention is on "luck" for that day or week.
Over time it destroys your relationships with loved ones.
It also leads you to incredibly deep depression.
Got away from it after years od addiction, and it's easly the biggest "win" i ever achived in my life.
How did you get away?
Help me with one word. Please Petar. Petar pomoc.
@@floydgondolli7321 my decade long relationship broke because of it and i could not run away from truth any more. My first move toward saving myself was admitting to myself i'm addict that needs to stop, and seek help if needed.
@@hardver8855 well seeking for help is already great first step toward better life. Find person of trust or psychiatrist to talk about and tell her/him everything . Once you start talking your wall will start to break and you will see how miserable you are and how much of a slave for gambling you are. And somehow it will help you understand that only way out is to quit. Money issue is issue, but you won't solve it by gambling more, it will just make it worst. Emotional side of problem is way more important to solve and figure.
@@gulinp1thanks man. Just ruined my 5 years relationships with gf cuz of gambling and I’m pretty sure I’m done
Gonna visit gamblers anonymous or whatever this thing is called to get some support and after almost 10 years of sports betting I’m fucking done for real
Joey "Listen!" Diaz
The most important lesson from this conversation: 1) the system is designed to bury the degenerate gambler. Habitual gambling is bad - don’t do it.
The only guest that makes it feel like its a 3-way conversation
Thank you Joey Díaz. I won $3100 couple weeks ago and have kept going back for past 3 weeks and lost $5000 overall. I keep telling myself to stop but I keeping thinking “Today is my lucky day” . Just came back from casino and lost $2000. Needed this
Keep trying
Hope you’re out bro, best to invest the money in a side hustle and turn it into a business, no need to waste money on the chance of winning money when you just end up losing money
My man, when I was 16 I started learning how to play poker. By age 20, I had mid six figures. If I had just taken out a fraction of that and put it into an index fund, I’d be a millionaire by now. Instead, I developed a habit, ended up a heroin junkie, and blew through almost a million dollars in the last decade on drugs. I got clean a year and a half ago and started saving. $10K in the stock market. Slowly but surely within 10 years, I’ll have a million, but I can never go back to playing cards full time even as lucrative as it was for me because it destroyed me. It’s all an illness, even for the winners because having too much money that felt like it came easy and cheap… it’ll make you pay somewhere else. Give it up man. There’s no winners in this game and what you’ve got to do to be a winner makes you a loser.
The video slots like Alice in wonderland that have mini games and cartoons in the screens are addicting
@@mmcaleney yes they are
To anyone who hasn’t walked into a casino, its kinda sad to see some lady in her 70s chain smoking Virginia slims playing the nickel slots for the three hours straight lol
Joey could tell me a story about every single time he has visited the grocery store, and I would listen to every god damn word.
Things I like to remember is how the games are designed to exploit your logical decision making, how long I have lost and how much I sacrificed for it. It disgusts me but I realise how hard it was to simply let it go. That's gambling addiction. The virus helped me separate from it. Being kicked out of my problem gambling group helped. A whole lot of pain helped. Realizing what else I can do with all that money and time helped. Fuck gambling.
But you could always hit it big 😂
@@ryanblanchard2508 Could always lose time and time again.
Why did you get kicked out of your group? And how did that help you ? The group wasn’t working or enabling you or something ?
Joey should be the voice of a few audiobooks, he has such a soothing yet raspy voice. The perfect blend.
I would love to sit and listen to his stories all day long
its sad that Gambling Addiction for many years was never properly classified as a full-blown addiction, and many people didn't get the help they need, in the same capacity that alcoholics or drug addicts get. to this day, gambling addiction is still misunderstood by many. its awful. I would rather be a drug addict than a compulsive gambler
I'm fine smoking a blunt. nothing wrong with that. hard drugs would be preferable to having a gambling addiction. a junkie with a needle in his arm in an alleyway next to a dumpster garners more sympathy than a gambling degenerate, because people will just say,"why don't you just stop." it's like, if a gambler could "just stop" they would but its an addiction like any other
Adam Freedman When it comes to burning through cash no addiction comes close to gambling. It's downright scary what lengths gambling addicts will go to to keep gambling. The risks they'll take.
They say that the rush you get from gambling is equivalent to the same rush you would get from shooting heroin .
Your so right. I grew up when online poker was really popular like mid to late 2000s, soon was addicted to a lot of other forms of gambling and even skill games. Man I tell ya its awful.
@@jamesroboyle They have done studies that winning a hand in online poker is similar to taking a line of cocaine. You can play thousands of hands in an hour. Even if your reward system is fine to start it can get fucked up. I am a gambling addict.
Joey is a fountain of fascinating anecdotes. Goddamn I love this dude
When my grandma was alive, my grandparents lived in Vegas most of my life. They lived in a mobile home park basically in squalor due to her gambling addiction. She would spend her checks, take my grandpas checks, my uncles, and just whatever money she would get.. she’d go to the casino with. If she won, she’d lose it all trying to win again. My grandpa had been wounded in war and my grandma had done more damage mentally over the years. What I’ve learned from it is sometimes it hurts you more to hold on hoping they’ll change
I love how he always addresses joe by his full name
I'm addicted to jre & uncle joey, FUCK with the full episode Young Jamie?!
Unlike "normal drugs" where there's also dopamine and adrenaline, etc, they must have this "hope" of reaching their goal, the jackpot which'll make their life better
There's adrenaline while you're gambling and dopamine release when you win a bet. The addiction is about anticipated dopamine release.
I freakin love Joey Diaz! 😂 I could listen to him 24/7
"There's gamblers like Michael Jordan, and there's gamblers like Joey Diaz" . . . . . . Norm Macdonald ~ "Hold my Beer"
I worked in a Vegas casino as security for four years. I watched people gamble eight hours a day. I could only play slots after work. Thank goodness I moved away. So addictive. I spent so much. Now not a cent. Wow.
Difference with gambling addicts and drug addicts, there are signs and tells to when someone is a drug addict. it's normally too late to help the gambler, as you can easily hide it, and easily accessible. I believe gambling addiction is just as bad if not worse the drug addiction
Same kick

In the UK the one thing that gets advertised the most without any regulations is the national lottery. The national lottery is mostly working class people spending their money every week which then goes into the back pockets of the government and these "lottery funded" sports clubs which only middle class people can join. The idea that the government hates this sort of thing I think is wrong. Weed, gambling, alcohol and tobacco all have massive multi billion dollar lobbyist powers.
The National Lottery does fund a LOT of charities and heritage organisations but it definitely lines some elite pockets as well.
Lottery is a huge scam: The reason is not taxed is because the "Money" is paid out Tax Free: This means ALL of it; including the profits: To whom you will never know:
Heres the scam:
50% of the total 100% it legally goes into the "Prizes"
(So right there and immediately its halved)
But from that 50% prize fund there is 28% is paid to the "good causes" Trust: TRUST: So now who do you trust?
28% of 50% from the 100% Yet no one is obliged to keep track of it as its non taxed money:
Theres no profit in chasing or logging non taxed money as no one can be held to account: They simply mess with numbers and percentages:
Get it now?
If not then rollover so they may stroke you from underneath AGAIN:
Its all a load of Balls and I mean Bollix:
Joel Rowe : Any lottery = The Idiot Tax! Only idiots are required (encouraged) to pay The Idiot Tax, hence the name...
A Little Slice of My Life I won $100 off a $1 scratch ticket. Hows that a scam?
Youre being purposefully naive with your scratchcard win: If you are on YT commenting about a scratchcard; I`ll take a gamble and bet you have adult common sense:
Dude I love Joey Diaz these are the best podcasts in my opinion
Can we get a Joey Diaz documentary this man been thru some shit
Hearing all of this is what I was raised into (brings back memories) I ran from it (gambling) and it's made my pockets not as empty, pleased to hear you know things about the pool hauls Joe Rogan
I may have 2 cue balls thats signed by some of those best in the world 😏
You only see the clip-worthy side of Joey Diaz on social media, when he’s screaming about trafficking drugs or waking up on a Monday, but outside of that, when he’s calm and talking normally, he has some serious shit to say. This was great. And almost the whole podcast with him is like this. It’s a shame social media only focuses on his other side.
Joey is the most "street smart" person I have ever heard .....just amazing!
I swear to God Joey Diaz is the embodiment of my dad, grandfather and every one of my uncles. East Coast for life.
Uncle joey always dropping gems.
I’m hooked on these pod casts😵
Best duo in podcast history
Joey Diaz is a classic. All what he says should be documented.
I knew a guy who was working for a PMU (it's a french concept, it's a bar where you can also buy cigarettes, stamps and bet on horses or the lottery) and there was this client who as soon as he got his pension went to the PMU to bet everything he had on horses, while his wife was following him screaming that it was the only money they got in order to survive. Every month the same shit was happening. Really sad story.
My brother is a recovering alcoholic, and in rehab, he says the gamblers are the worst. One bet from living in luxury. I had another friend who's girlfriend spent all their money on a weekend in Reno. He went to bed, and when he woke up, she confessed to taking out and losing every penny they had. Both had just gotten paid, gone. Rent..nope. credit cards, maxed and gone. I had to loan him cash for about 3 months ( all of our circle of friends chipped in) to get back on track. She went to rehab, came out and it didn't stick, so he dumped her.
I love how he calls Joe By his full name lol
It amazing the amount of knowledge Rogan has on so many different topics. In depth as well. From Pool halls to Hunting and everything in between
A person loses 30 Million dollars, the Casino always welcomes them, Dana White wins a couple of million and he gets Ban. You need a Licence to gamble.
Fuck Gambling.
I could listen to Diaz all day.😂
If a hangover and a come down from a 3 day binge had a voice, it would be Joey Diaz's voice.
Joey is a great life mentor
Let the man talk Joe Rogan Big joeys experiences are so much more entertaining Best storyteller ever
Everybody has a uncle or a friend just like joey diaz. I love it
Joe Rogan talking about how gambling was about less than who won and more about who will quit first reminds me of how in the Mahabaharat between the Pandus and Kaurvas gambled. I think it relates because how though one side was losing constantly they kept going until it was beyond themselves to stop.
When covid hit, I seen all kinds of new faves in my local gas stations. Loading up on lottery tickets because the casinos were closed. I seen a guy, corporate looking and he got the most lottery tickets Ive ever seen someone get. Hopped in his nice car and left. I worked at casinos for a majority of my life and I couldn't imagine what the gambling addicts were going through.
I used to work at a club and there was a guy who came in for an hour every day Mon-Fri. Same as you said - Corporate look, really nice car etc. He used to stand in front of two pokie machines in the higher section.. min $5 every hit and just keep pressing both of them for the hour. There's no job, unless you're seriously elite, that can keep up with that kind of insanity!
When it comes to gambling addiction, there's no such thing as "having the means to gamble." A person with $50 in the bank will gamble up to $50. A person with $50 million in the bank will eventually gamble $50 million unless they get themselves in check. House of the rising sun.
Ex gambler here. Lost big time on options and tried to chase my losses with a huge sports bet. Of course the bet lost I ended up even more in the whole. Stomached the $45,000 cumulative losses and stayed away from that devil since. The key is to lose hope that you’ll make it back. Count the blessings in your life that money can’t buy and give those things your time and energy. The dopamine kick is real, it will make everything in your life so mundane that you won’t have any pleasure besides gambling. Especially nowadays when gambling can be done at your fingertips. Stay off those websites if you can.
Lost 34,000 now i have to work 3 jobs gambling really suck me in
It's like my old personal finance teacher used to tell us in class, "gambling and lottery games are a tax on the fool"!
Poor*
betting became legal in canada about a month ago. literally every comercial break theirs at least 2 gambling commercials. they even paid Dave portnoy to come to toronto to advertise it.
I feel bad for anyone dealing with gambling addiction in canada when it's literally shoved down your throat constantly whenever you watch a sports game
Canada has just legalised gambling ? Seriously
There days I couldn’t go home without gambling, couldn’t wrap my mind around not doing it for a day. I use to leave work early on payday to hit the casino and be broke before my shift woulda ended. Bout 2 years clean.
Nice man, how is it going after 2y?
Joey is so spot on about that blue collar guy at 7/11 buying lotto numbers and putting them in to try and hit it big. I worked construction and I work on farms so I’m in the gas station five days a week and these middle aged guys are getting a pack of cigarettes, a coke, a sandwich, 5 different lotto tickets and playing all of them right there. The cashier rings them up and it’s $100-$150 every single time. All that seven days a week. It’s just a sad state. Joey is speaking facts here.

Even if you won a million...as long as you don't stop gambling ... It will always be taken away... That's why my dear brother... Advise your family to never engage on gambling... It's so tough to fight against that kind of behavior when you are there... You can even do crimes because of chasing money... It says...easy money.... But they never spoke the words losing and gaining... They think easy money is gaining only not losing... Gambling is a waste of time but people are still doing it because of free will...
I’m glad they regulate it Bc it protects people from themselves, like man I have a small gambling problem and I really need to quit that shit, it’s just so easy to lose everything and I have enough self control to walk away but some people just can’t handle the rush, and they fuck themselves the most
