I'm pretty sure that I don't need to write a whole introduction about what a casino is. I'm fairly confident that it's common knowledge as to what goes on in a casino, and why people go there. With that being said, casinos are not a bad place.

Casinos are not a bad place, if you go just for fun. If you feel like you've got some extra money to burn, why not go to the casino and have some fun? Try out your luck? You might win, but you probably won't. It's that slight chance of winning that makes it so fun! It's the times that you go in hopes of "winning big" that make it a bad place.

Now every time I go to the casino, I have a set plan. I've got 200 bucks in my pocket, and I'm probably going to be going home with nothing. That's it. I know there's a slight possibility that I may win more, but its pretty unlikely, and I'm just playing for fun. Most people however, go with the sole intention of winning, which is wrong. Every time I go to the casino, as I'm walking around, I look at all the people there, and just can't help but feel sorry for most of them. I'm sure those that have been to the casino before, have seen people playing one two, maybe three slot machines at the same time. I once sat down at a machine, for literally 5 minutes, and played for 20$, while the person next to me managed to already spend 300$ in that short time frame.

| WHY AM I NOT WINNING ANYTHING?!?!?! |
There's one little fact that most people forget about casinos... A casino is a
business. The owner of the casino hopes to
MAKE money, not lose it! And guess how they're making money? By taking it from the fools who think they'll become rich enough to open their own casino. It wouldn't be a very good business model if the owner lost more than they made.
In conclusion, I think the casino is a pretty fun place to go if you just want to have a fun night out with your friends, but don't go expecting to come home a millionaire, because well... You won't.
well that's just your opinion...

ReplyDeleteI like your attitude and outlook on casinos. Gambling is a form of (expensive) entertainment imo.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with gman.
ReplyDeleteyou a stupid person if you go to a casino... like i would go just for fun but JEEZZ spending your lifes saving...no wonder you make them rich LOL @ peoples hopes and dreams :D
ReplyDeleteMy girlfriend had her birthday party at the local casino. She said it wasn't too much of a bad place too...
ReplyDeleteI like casinos... i somehow always end up a few hundred $$ up.
ReplyDeleteHahaha i never went to a casino :( i have to gooo damn but i'd lost all my money there
ReplyDeletenever been
ReplyDeleteWise words man?! casinos are dangerous places ;D
ReplyDeleteAs long as people understand that it costs money, and almost never makes money, then they're fine. At the moment, they seem to mainly exist so that people who don't get math can be taken advantage of.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I dont see how you could have a good time knowing you'll loose your money. Unless you really enjoy the game/thrill. The knowledge that Ill probably loose all of it would be enough for me to spend the money on something else, even if I did enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteBut thank god for the professionals, am I right? Those who can just walk in with say 1000 grand and step out with 2000. Who knows how many casinos we'd have all around us if it wasnt for them.
But it is a smart business. The slot machines you were talking about for example, who in their right mind would try to make a profit from those?
Yet, we see plenty of housewives and whatnot sitting there with their crazyeyes hoping for some kind of life changing moment. And they are the ones keeping the casinos alive, the average dumbdumbs & addicts.
The closest casino is like 4 hours away from me. I'm hoping to win it big when I go there ha ha.
ReplyDeleteBarton is such a douche XD
ReplyDeleteCasinos are terrible.
ReplyDeleteCasinos are a really bad worm hole for some people.
ReplyDeleteI love casinos, I usually waste 10 bux or something.
ReplyDeleteHaha they are! A lot of teachers used to go a lot and spend all their money haha.
ReplyDeleteI would get way too tempted going to a place like Vegas
ReplyDeleteMy grandma thought the same way you do. She would go for fun, whether she lost or won just 10 dollars, it was fun.
ReplyDeleteThe title is a little misspelled. Casinos are evil.
ReplyDeletecasinos are awesome
ReplyDeleteCasinos, there's a love/hate relationship for me. :)
ReplyDeleteyeah i think you're right.
ReplyDeletei spent about a hundred dollars in atlantic city and only won a few cents hah!

I fully support plans to build casinos in my town. Bring down those taxes!
ReplyDeleteNever been a big fan of gambling myself :/
ReplyDeletelove the blog mmmm

They're ok, fun at times :P
ReplyDeleteWhenever I buy a lottery ticket I'm usually like "I've been a good and nice person. My karma is positive. I helped out a guy whose car broke down the other day. I'm sure to win because God/fortune is smiling upon me." but then I always lose and it's a bitter reminder that there isn't any fortune smiling upon me at all. In fact, I never win anything.
ReplyDeleteAnd you know what, sometimes the 2 dollars is worth remembering that.
Free lunch. No such thing.
Our parents told us we were special, so now we're complete retards. Thanks mom and dad for making me think everything would always go my way because I'm me
ReplyDeleteOf the few times I've been gambling, I've never lost money. You just have to play the right game and play smart.
ReplyDeleteyou can't go wrong putting 20 on red!!!
ReplyDeleteInteresting thoughts.
ReplyDeleteGreat post.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you. It's easy to become addicted once you have won money. The sad thing is even when people come out ahead they will blow it all again because they think they will win more.
