this what I call big scam!to take so much money from lot of people,even some poker pro players,thats something special!ofcourse its not good for this people and who know what will be with this man,but he had great story and they just couldnt resist not to loan him money and to "invest" in sure thing!
Of course, when a person has a certain business reputation, some confidence in him is formed .... therefore I understand those people who gave him money Hoping that he will return with a profit .... such a scheme works everywhere .... but sometimes players who understand that they have no chance to win honestly do such things that then fall from the criminal news

This Robert Alexander is a man who has no measure when he plays gambling in casinos. It is very sad to see that he had a lot of millions of dollars and he played with them, donated or spent without logic. More than that he also made debts to many people. It's terrible when you can not control yourself.

ANd this is what you call an addiction. He had all that money a nice job and ruined it all for his addiction. That was a good question. How much did he really win in the casino. Imagine if what he say is true about donating 50 millions, how low he ended up...

In the world are a lot of stories with people who have lost money or big money in casinos. We do not even know about this things. To be a bettor that can not be wary means bankruptcy in the majority of cases. At the casino it's very hard to make a profit for your entire life and not to ruin yourselves.

These addicts don't play for the profit, they play for the adrenalin. It's different.

When you have a family you do not have to play all your fortune for adrenaline. You have to think about one thing. To make money for you, wife and the child. This is not very difficult to understand. He preferred to play that money without thinking that his family, will be left with no money.
