better than drugs! that is exactly the point. it's more expensive, more dangerous, more addictive, and really stupid. here's why: you have to absolutely 100% LOSE. that is the entire point. now, for those who will say that "some people win" . . .don't bother . . . i get it . . some people .. .no . .a LOT of people DO win . . .big . .HUGE . . . .but . . .the casinos are still there . . .and . what if they go back for more .. . . who wins in the end? great sense of excitement, better than drugs, money gone, lots of money gone, all money gone, big hole dug
fair enough that this doesn't happen to everyone. if you are one of those that enjoy going and it hasn't happened to you, that's great. good for you. let's go one step further: you play with certain odds against you. then, you WIN BIG. what happens? you pay taxes! no kidding! the casinos have already paid taxes, the people who bet paid taxes on the money they are betting. now, you win, and you pay taxes on it.
okay, i just don't get it. the way to win is to only bet enough to give you pleasure and spend only what you would have spent for the same amount of time and fun . .. like going on a date, right? i guess that's cool . .. . but not for me . . .i want the nice dinner, a show, some flowers, and other excitement . . . to each her own
