			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I read recently that the latest Annenberg Survey shows a rise in the number of youngsters who gamble online. According to the survey, compared to the last figures from a 2008 survey on the same number of kids, the number of college age students overall who gamble online climbed from 4.4% to 16%. There was also an increase in the number of high school age males who take to online gambling. But it was the figures on high school females that caught my eye. In 2008, 9.5% of these kids said that they bet on sport on a monthly basis. Yet, in the last survey, 22% said that did. Astounding, isn’t it?</p>
<p><em>Signs that your 10 year old is gambling:</em></p>
<ul>
<li><em>He has painted the numbers 1 – 36 plus a O on the backyard merry go round.</em></li>
<li><em>He posts a line on his 5th grade spelling bee.</em></li>
<li><em>He knows how to convert money lines to must-win percentages.</em></li>
<li><em>The last meal that your family ate at McDonalds was comped.</em></li>
<li><em>He bought himself an iPad – with his own money.</em></li>
<li><em>The Stardust sent him free airline tickets.</em></li>
<li><em>He rolls his baby brother’s blocks and yells “seven come eleven!!!”</em></li>
<li><em>He tries to double down when he plays Go Fish.</em></li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Remember those guys who spent hundreds of man hours and millions in research money telling us that gambling is a pleasant pastime? Well, these geniuses have come up with another revolutionary discovery – this time that a near-miss at the <a href="http://www.bonusrating.com/slots/">slot machines</a> or other gambling devices still provides a rush for gamblers. According to the new ‘ground-breaking’ research from the United Kingdom, “the near-miss rush, while mild among recreational gamblers, is almost as intense a rush for the brain as an actual win…”  I know I say this too often, really I do, but I can’t resist it this time. DUH!!! I mean, do they really think that they discovered the Holy Grail by telling us that it’s that ‘near-miss’ feeling that keeps us coming back for more? That’s what gambling is all about, and we don’t need geeky lab rats to tell us that!</p>
<p>A guy goes to Vegas and wins $500,000 at the <a href="http://www.bonusrating.com/blackjack/">blackjack</a> tables. He doesn’t want to share his good fortune with his wife, so he creeps home, digs a hole and buries the loot in his backyard. The next morning he wakes up and finds that the money is gone, with footsteps leading to his deaf-mute neighbor’s home. The enraged player hauls out a gun, goes to another neighbor (who happens to understand sign language) and together they enter the deaf-mute’s home. “Tell this guy that if he doesn’t tell me what he did with my cash, I’m going to kill him,” says the gambler. The neighbor signs to the deaf-mute who replies, “Ok, ok, tell him it’s under my bed.” To translator turns to the gambler and said: “He’s not going to tell you. He said he’d rather die first!”</p>
