Is his channel full of hundreds of videos of disappointment?

boner - 2014-06-19 Well yeah, the best effect is obtained by binge-watching them. Then finding out there are a bunch of other people doing these.

"Another loser". He clearly doesn't do irony.
Here in Australia, local newsagents have become gambling dens where these junkies crowd the service counter and make me wait 5 fucking minutes just to buy a newspaper.
Not that I'm bitter & twisted or anything.

Nominal - 2014-06-20 Nope. It's like that here in America too. Lotto zombies clogging up lines because each one has to order some ridiculous specific combination of scratch tickets, the equivalent of some asshole ordering a complicated drink in a crowded bar. They really need a separate line for lottery junkies.
I used to work with one of those addicts. On his first day off I swore something was different at lunch time but couldn't quite place it. Finally I realized it was the absence of the constant coin scratching his bi-daily of tickets.

Yeah, laugh it up. But just you wait. When he hits it big, then you'll be sorry.

My housemate, who is an otherwise well-adjusted, middle-class career man, plays these fucking things all the time. He is talkative on almost any other subject, but clams up the second I try to get him to tell me why he plays.
I knew a couple guys in the Army who devoted a significant proportion of their income to these things. They were always the lowest of the low. My Squad Leader explained it as "just po' white trash givin' they paycheck back."

baleen - 2014-06-19 I've won 0 twice 0 twice, 0 several times (back when I played). It's for gamblers. You don't like an irrational need for adrenaline fixes and self-destructive behavior, GTFO!

Old People - 2014-06-19 Baleen, I fight people with guns for a living, so I have some sympathy for those urges. But in the case of scratch-offs, I have yet to meet anyone who's turned a profit.

oddeye - 2014-06-20 Gamble like a REAL man, like with online poker or something. PUSSIES.

Just about every quick stop gas joint within a 10 mile radius of me has at least one dude every time I stop in who is scratching away at these things or holding up the line to buy a whole stack of them.

Washington state recently had a scratch ticket called "AM I A WINNER?"
It was big box that you scratched and then underneath it said either "YES" or "NO".

You did!

The only thing sadder than scratchies is when I drove through Nevada late one night. Nothing sadder than rows of zombies playing slot machines in a gas station after midnight.

You don't have to scratch these, they can scan them and tell you if they're winners.

Well that's depressing.
