…maybe don’t gamble then. Take responsibility. Don’t blame Fanduel.

So you broke up with her due to lack of honesty?
I’ve lost some money and gained some. Actually, there is a way to beat the system using math but it takes the fun away. Instead of using your intuition you use formulas and end up placing really obscure prop bets (actions inside of the game, like three pointers made or shots on goal.)

Does she actually owe you a straight answer? I mean unless you are married and or have co-mingled accounts, it’s not really any of your business where and how she spends her money. Just like you don’t owe her.
I like to think people should be transparent in relationships especially with potential vices and addictions.
I saw a bunch on a friends phone and he said he had to use so many bc he owed some money or something.
Run. And advise she get help
As someone that has worked for MGM Resorts International and Penn Entertainment, Inc. in their accounting departments in Las Vegas, please take solace in the fact that you are not enabling her gambling addiction like many significant others would otherwise do.
In fact, one of my coworkers at Penn once confided in me that she once became almost homeless due to her own gambling addiction (yes, I silently noted the irony of her telling me that information as we worked on accounting projects together for a gaming company with 43 casinos in 20 states).
One last thing, this may be too heavy/dark to think about, but many suicides in Las Vegas where I’ve lived for most of my life are due to gambling addicts eventually losing their life savings…The media just doesn’t mention those countless suicides because they do not want to ruffle any feathers by highlighting something on the news that could negatively affect one of the most significant resources to keep the economy of Las Vegas strong: tourism.
Just my two cents…
