Gambling

Cat Loving Man

Just wanted some views.I used to gamble too much and chase losses .I had this view you could beat the bookies if you just had enough money.it did not work.Now I find gambling boring and ma very selective when I do it.I do it within reason and either lose small amounts or win small amounts.

I was just wondering is my type of obsessions with numbers typical of Autism.I am also very into money and the stock market etc and love the FT.

Look forward to some views on the above

  • No, I don't understand numbers at all, I can't pass a GCSE grade C with special teaching, numbers tend to swim about when I look at them and numbers on a digital screen are even worse as they're all based around the number 8 and I can see all the lines that make up the 8 even when the number is 4 or something. My eyes get drawn into figuring out whats not there as much as what is there. I think I must be the only person who can put the same simple sum into a calculator three times and three diferent answers!

    I've never seen the attraction of gambling, I did the lottery for 6 months and barely got my stake money back, I felt like my money would be safer in a jar under the bed.

    Don't know how familiar you are with singer/actress/life coach Suzanne Shaw but she has ADHD and the numbers form of dyslexia so you're definitely not alone as her description of not being able to read numbers sounds similar to how you say you see numbers.
