Never thought I was a gambler

Postby Pastor Gary » September 15th, 2008, 12:13 pm

I never thought I was a gambler, but I downloaded a freebie game on my iPhone called iSlots that kind of replicates the experience of playing a slot machine (minus the real wager, of course) and I kind of "get" how addictive it could be... "one more pull... I think it s almost ready to pay off!" :lol: :lol: :lol:

Slot-machines are based upon the psychological proposition that intermittent reinforcement is the strongest kind of incentive to continue a behavior, and it works.
"God is excited to show you mercy. He rises to give you His compassion." (Isaiah 30:18)

"For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous;
you surround them with your favor as with a shield." (Psalm 5:12)

I ran the table on Texas Hold'em a couple of weeks ago. I had never really played before and I cleaned house (not on the internet/real life). I said maybe I'm not called to preach but called to play poker. :lol:
