I'm not sure if your h is headed down the same path as my dad, but it's good that you watch for the signs. I don't gamble, but if I put $5 in the pot when I play Bunko with the neighbor ladies, I could care less who wins/loses...chatting with other women is the draw for me whether there's money involved or not.

I think people that lean towards gambling addictions feel totally differently...where the idea of winning gives them a 'high'...have you ever asked him how he feels when he's gaming at the casino? I'm not sure if he'd be honest if he knows where you're going with that question but just a thought.
