A Little Something About Nothing Inparticular

Random Thoughts and Experiences

Casinos

, , ,



Do you all have Casinos where you are? Well in California we have Indian Reservation Casinos that have popped up like pop corn in the last 10 years. They can be fun but they have sounded a death knell for many. People flock to them from all around and there are even bus tours for them. Geeze! Pawn shops have actually gone out of business with people pawning there valuables and never picking them back up. I saw an old couple get out of their Mercedes in front of a pawn shop with their portable TV to turn in. How sad is that.

As I wrote the above paragraphs I was sitting in a casino feeling sorry for myself. I could not get my partner to leave the place as he has the bug rather bad when he starts to play blackjack. *don’t get me started on what I think of that*

Now, I don’t judge people on what they are into or not; but I do wonder about the person who, once they start something, simply cannot stop. Feels more like an addiction than a game at that point. Don't get me wrong I love to play the slots once in a while myself, but they are not paying I'm not playing.

Hallelujah!!!!!Where are you?

We have casinos in Copenhagen, or at least we have one. I never go there. Money goes a little too fast in places like that.

i've always had the notion that if i had the money to spend, gambling is a fun recreation. if i don't plan to spend X number of dollars on a recreation i cannot gamble. there is nothing in the stats that assure you will win, the stats are obviously for the providers of the gambling facilities. maybe that point can make it clear to someone with a gambling craze -- look at the statistics! compare gambling stats to say winning a photo contest . . . the odds are better that you'll win the prize at the photo contest! just my two cents worth. :smile:
