If I got the same brief, I don't think I could've come up with this ad.
Hats off to all those involved.
I can totally relate to the story because one of my dear friends was a compulsive and chronic gambler. And I happened to witness his downward spiral. I mean that guy in the middle pointing a gun against his head? That is just disturbingly so true...
What a powerful piece of communication. The line feels a tad redundant and "punny", but still belongs in the ad.

With you re the redundant line JPL.
I don't think it needs it at all.
The visual says it all, beautifully.

>>>> That's not an ad. THIS is an ad.
