It is amazing that the Australian courts was convince that Kakavas "was able to make rational decisions in his own interests and the Crown did not knowingly victimize the appellant by allowing him to gamble." I want to cry foul play here as Kakavas's past shown that he is desperate enough to resort to crime to get money to gamble. This for us at GGC is a severe landu (pathological gambler) that is beyond redemption. As we like to say in Chinese, "no medicine could cure him."
As for the Norwegian case, not much had been mentioned about Baasland's pathological state where gambling is concern. On the surface of it, he did not seem like the type who would break the law to get money to gamble. It is unfortunate that his borrowing from friends and family had turn out to be a scandal. If you ask for a loan to gamble, nobody will give you one. Baasland's hiding the reason for his loan is common.

It is amazing the the court find a person who can commit crime to get money to gamble not a pathological gambler.
ReplyDeleteThe court had become the casino's new ally.
DeleteHad the court been bias by ignoring the Herald Sun's report?
DeleteI had thought you would hammer away at the Centrebet's spokesman saying "the company would have stopped Mr Baasland from gambling had it known it wasn't his money". That is kinda like stating the obvious. The Chinese goes, "this is my mum, she is female".
ReplyDeleteThey are trying to prove duty of care but it could not be proven by stating the obvious.
