But a gambler fails to realize that government is not at loss. It is he himself who loses and suffers most. Betting is nothing else but gambling with one’s money. It is devastating addiction. A pathological gambler cannot resist from gambling whatsoever his economic condition may be. He can stoop to any extent to obtain money for betting. He can lie, steal and even murder anyone for it. The idea of once winning a large bet is always playing on his mind. The entire family and friends of a pathological gambler face repercussions of adverse situations so created by him.

The lust for money is never ending, it is better to be satisfied with little that you have than to pine for more and lose even that!

A Plain Vanilla Draw

Self discipline is a necessity for all draw shots. Make sure you keep your bridge hand on table a couple moments after cue impacts cue ball. Very often, we try to get bridge hand out of path of returning cue ball and in our hast to do this we fail to commit to a crisp stroke and as a result, end up with a stop shot.

Remember also, you want to set up your bridge so you can achieve a low hit on cue ball. You do this by using an open bridge and extend bridge hand fingers out towards cue ball.

Here's an interesting "twist" with an old friend, "ghost ball". Visualize a ball two inches beyond object ball and imagine your cue tip going through object ball to this imaginary ball. This will help you deliver a nice reverse spin.

Get your draw shot attempt out of your mind. You need to be completely relaxed. If you are thinking about your draw, you will have problems.

You need to loosen up on all shots, but particularly draw shot. You must turn brain off when you are shooting. Your efforts should be automatic.
