    I'm chinese and I like to gamble sometimes. Look at God of Gambler, he's chinese too. I don't think there's a stereotype that says viet people are addictive gamblers.

    i don't know about that. but I have a few VN friends that gambles till late at night on WEEKDAYS!
     
  7. i think this stereotype is just effing stupid.

    just because ones got friends that like to gamble doesnt mean every vietnamese people like to gamble. youre just hanging out with a gambling clique.

    and plus.. i dont gamble, and i know lots of viets who HATE gambling.

    i don't believe in stereotyping but when I think about it...about 95% of the Vietnamese people I know gamble a lot...it's like they can gamble on everything from casino to sports to a simple lottery games...

    Sometimes it's harmless...but sometimes they can get pretty addicted

    but ull get picked on. do u want to go around having people pointing and shaking their heads going, "theres taht guy that doesnt gamble, lets spit on him"
     
  17. i guess youre the type that likes to follow trends and "fit in a group" dont you.

    for your information, i have NEVER been accused of being picked on for not gambling. that has got to be the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard..

    in fact, just so you know, people envy and give me the greatest respect because i dont succumb to gambling addictions like the other gamblers. thus, i still have my big home, my great car, and fine cuisine food on my table everyday..

    you'll get picked on for not being like others... LOL

    im sorry but thats not true at all ;)

    yes i do gamble, but rarely. i put 10 bucks on the table, and when its gone, i dont stay. i leave. thats discipline.

    lol, thought u got serious for a second there. HA viet people do gamble, whether u stop or not, u still started
     
  19. are we talking about gambling as an addiction or gambling for fun?

    i do gamble for fun, but not as an addiction.

    and according to the topic, its addiction lol

    so either way, i dont fall under addictive gambler. i fall under the group of people who know when to stop and save their money.
