i was once a serious gambler. played all the time in casinos from when i was 18 - till about 24-25 (high limits blackjack). i counted cards. then i started making it big (in my definition) on the internet, and got bored of gambling. i still go to a casino once in awhile with friends, but all i do is sip a beer and look at the poor souls addicted to it.

no judgement here *at all*, but i do find it sort of cathartic to watch others play...
Yeah my uncles a big gambler. I grew up around casinos... for some odd reason the guys at the craps table would let me play with my uncle there when I was about 12 and on... I guess the laws were a little looser back then or something.

Still, the early exposure to casinos like that didn't help me much. Now I'm reformed. I might occassionally burn $100 once in a blue moon, but I know when to give it up




Somehow those casinos keep making their electric bill payments
