Gambling

IP: 80D6 7866

How often do you guys hit the casino and shit, and what do you think of gambling?

I went there last night and didn't play anything. But this dude I went there with won like $375.

I actually hate most gambling, particularly casino games.

Word... Not gambling = the way to go.

Even if it isn't huge losses like that, you still get fucked on. I was thinking about it the other day. Why would casinos exist if they lost money? Are casinos ever short on money? No, they are like the richest places around.

Let's say a guy goes to the casino once or twice every month, so about 20 times in a year. He is a reasonably smart, sensible gambler, who sets $100 aside, and if he loses, stops playing. It's rare for him to win much. Let's say he wins $250 twice, $100 once, $50 three times, $40 four times. Meaning the total amount he wins in the year is $910.

That is being pretty generous, winning isn't really that common. So he has won, 10 out of 20 times. The other times he was sensible and stopped gambling after reaching his loss limit of $100.

This person probably views each trip to the casino individually, and was probably happy every time he won, when in reality his total losses were $1000, slightly more than his total winnings. Even if he did gain more than he lost over a year occasionally, increase the scope to a span of 10 years instead of 1 and overall he has suffered losses.

This is just an average person, though... There are people who gain a lot from casinos, but there are also people (a shitload more people I might add) that lose a lot to casinos.

word....basically what i always do is come out even....in sports gambling u can just pick who is going to win the game outright (the moneyline) or you can pick against the spread.....if u bet on the moneyline...and you have like USC playing some shit school in football....you pick USC to win.....basically youll have to put up like 5 or 600 bucks to win 100.......so ill usually win a lot of games...but then 1 game will fuck me over....so it all comes out about even...i usually pick against the spread though....or the over/under........its more fun and when i win it adds to my ego because theyre so tough to pick....


but uhh yea...never gamble.....<---- wise words

Well you have to have a lot of people lose a lot for some people to win big. lol. that's just common sense. Fact is casinos have the right to cheat anytime they want, their building, their servers, their security.

if you win too much, without proof they can call you a cheat and toss you out.

ya my math teacher went into it, and theres never an equal pay out for any game. so your garrenteed, if u play anything long enough, you lose. but if u have like 20 bucks and are lookin to be entertained, then goin to the casino until u lose that is sensible, becuase it'd be the same as goin to like a dinner and a movie or sumin.
