Jim thought he was smarter than everyone else in the casino. He was college-educated and he had a "system" to win at blackjack.
Which proves, he says, just what a sucker he was.
"I lost all of my money and all of my respect. Everyone thinks they have a system, but the casino is playing with a loaded deck."
Today, Jim has gone almost nine years without gambling. He runs the weekly Gamblers Anonymous meeting in Grand Rapids and answers the group's state hotline.
