Mismanaged Compulsion

The moment Promising Talent (PT) was seen, the observers knew he was destined for a high position. PT was exciting to watch and his talent was exceptional. PT then was on his way to achieving dreams that most kids can only imagine.

As years passed, PT slowly achieved his dream. He became known for his skills, fans flocked to him for photos, and his performance impressed the crowd. Money became easy to earn; after all, only a few could brag about earning so much from doing something they really love.

Unfortunately, money brought in much temptation as well. PT discovered another passion, which could have distracted him from focusing on his craft. PT learned about cards and the table. As he was earning so much and confident that he would still have money the next day, PT started frequenting casinos.

While casinos are put up for people who cannot stay away from gambling and for the government to earn, everything has a downside. Casino experts have expressed the notion that only a few out of the many gamblers win and most players end up losers. PT was one of them.

At the height of his gambling, PT would allegedly sit in the exclusive area reserved for high-end players. The table is in an area that is hidden from the other gamblers. Dealers claim that money seems to be like liquid for PT and he would lose so much in a night. Some say the figure sometimes reached half a million.

Sadly, gambling could have ruined PT’s focus, as these days, he has yet to bounce back to his days of glory. As far as his finances are concerned, many are worried that he might have lost much at the tables.
