In my opinion what's degrading is when casinos take advantage of unsuspecting novice gamblers who don't know how things actually work.<BR>People who believe in the various gamblers' fallacies about luck and hot streaks and such.<BR>Gambling is like alcohol.<BR>When you understand how it works and you use it appropriately, it can be entertaining and enjoyable. <BR>But the casinos love nothing more than novice gamblers who go in and drop money hand over fist because they don't understand the system.<BR>Sure, it's everyone's right to be able to go in and drop money left and right.<BR>But you can make the experience more enjoyable by learning the rules.

Oh, I do just fine, thanks for the 'concern' there katie.<BR>I stick to sports betting which is not a guaranteed loser over time. Many of us make a very nice full time living at it.<BR>
