I loved your story so far because I know it ends well. But, hearing that Brad started gambling at such a young age makes me wonder if you’ve ever had to deal with a family member or friend who suffers from gambling addiction. Your stories always assume control.

Just a question, please don’t take this as criticism. I’ve been a devoted follower for years!

I, too, had a GRIT route, so I guess I’m “preey old.”

This story sure brings back memories to me!
When I was about 7 or 8, my Dad would give me my 25
cents allowance in 25 pennies, and then try to win it back at poker. Talk about life lessons. Sometimes he would get most of it back, and sometimes I would double up. He took me to the race track as soon as I could walk, and my job was to go around and pick up tickets off the floor. Every once in awhile, I would find a winner someone pitched by accident and he would split the winnings with me.

He had to start somewhere to get to where he is today, didn’t he?
He has had a great life gambling.
Hope it keeps going on.
