Let me add.. Not only are you losing money in casinos, but you are also losing a lot of valuable time. Remember time is money, So for every time you lose a bet, you have to realize you are actually losing double the amount in the wager. You could have spent your time doing something more productive.
Shane Hummus - The Success GPS well said! I only been to one once my 19th birthday back in June with my mom and my auntie. and I broke even I wasn’t happy but I wasn’t sad and I just found out it’s not for me.
@@General12th Nah cause gardening is a leisure activity and at least you can get pretty flowers or tomatoes eventually alongside some fun and exercise if you have a large garden. Gambling is just losing money and getting nothing much else besides some fun. And it’s only fun if you can limit yourself anyways.
3 weeks ago, I went to a casino for the first time with a large group of my close friends for a birthday. I brought 300 bucks and experienced a tasting of everything a casino can offer. I met nice people who taught me how to play black jack early in the night, I Forrest Gump'ed my way through the place and was up 160 bucks, in the later hours (3-4AM) I was at a table with some awesome guys then a sloppy drunk came up, whipped out 1k, lost it all in 1 hour then proceeded to heckle the rest of us at the table (he was really good at gambling with other people's money) come 6 AM I left with $325 after using the 200 I won to pay for my beer, dinner and my hotel room. I can DEFINITELY see how addictive gambling can be, I didnt go into the joint expecting to win big, if I left with the money I walked in with, I knew I won.
When it comes to gambling, never take anymore money than you're prepared to lose. Hubby and I used to occasionally go to greyhound racing. We didn't have much money, but every so often we'd have about 20 quid for a night out. (This was in the 80s) We had the option to go to a club - neither of us like clubs; go to the pub and maybe get a cheap meal and a drink, or go to the races. We went to small tracks which cost about a quid each to get in. A pint of beer and a bag of chips (proper British chips, not those fat-laden skinny things) and we'd have about enough to put £1 on each race. We'd usually do an each way bet at the Tote (worse odds but it was right next to where we'd sit, and it was much more reliable than some of the "independent" bookies), watch the dogs have some fun chasing a neon-orange "hare" (yes, they do love to do it. If they're not in the mood, nothing will make them run. I've a ton of greyhound tales, mostly because we've had one or three (all ex-racers) during all our time together - 31 years married and he had a retired hound when I met him. He'd been a handler at racing kennels), and some nights we actually went home with a few quid. It was way more fun than noisy clubs or cheap pubs, and a lot cheaper. But as I said at the beginning, don't take more than you're prepared to lose. For us, the £20 was what we'd be spending wherever we went, so we always chalked it up as being spent before we even left the house. Coming back with a fiver after a good time and a few wins made the night "profitable". I detest gambling in the way that's been described, but that's mainly because a close family member went through a phase of being addicted to it. He never allowed it to get to the point where the family suffered, but he wasn't happy. One day he just decided to stop and he did. On the odd occasion he'd put a few quid on a horse in the Grand National, but he never allowed it to rule his life. I was never more proud of anyone than I was of him at that point. But still, I've never set foot in a bookies on the street and apart from the old office sweeps (usually about 20p) where we'd draw a horse's name from the National or Derby, or those very occasional nights out (that ended with the birth of our first kid), that's the only "betting" I've ever done. Oh, I did buy a few lottery tickets when it first started and I had £1 in change. I won £10 after a few goes (really only a few goes), called it quits and I've never bought another one since - though like everyone I dream about "the big win" on occasion. Still never been tempted by it. It's not worth it - the house (irrespective of whether it's a casino, track or lottery company) is the only true winner.
My friend is a gambling addict. He has lost everything he has ever made to it. He will usually set himself straight for months or years, but inevitably he always ends up going back. At first he was losing $500-$600 on bad nights, though multiple times he has completely emptied his savings and lost $2,000-$4,000. I think over the last decade plus his losses have amounted to around $50,000. Its a shame to think of the life he could have had if he didnt throw away everything he has ever worked for.
Started watching a guy in the Bellagio in Vegas playing a roulette table with chips a color I had never seen before. Turns out the were $25,000 chips. He had about 50 people watching him. He was throwing the chips all over the place. In the course of about 15 minutes, he must have lost over a million dollars. His response? 'Meh, its only money, no biggie'. And yet his wife was more concerned about getting her drink than him dropping a mil in a few minutes.
I'm on a cruise ship right now, and its been my first exposure to a real casino. I've learned a lot from watching these videos for years prior, and it allowed me to step away when I won decently and spectatw card games for the rest of the night. It really is kinda fun if youre smart about it, but I also couldn't overlook the predatory nature of those machines. For you to win, someone else has to lose.
“Every game favors the house” Actually, if I remember right, blackjack is the one game that tends to favor the player since the dealer must draw till they win or bust if players hold on safe numbers. I may be wrong but I was pretty sure of that.
The house has an advantage over someone who plays perfect basic strategy, although this edge is small (0.2-3%, depending on the exact rules at the table). The player can get an edge by counting cards and betting appropriately. Since very few players learn perfect basic strategy, even fewer learn how to count cards, and even fewer than that learn how to do it AND get away with it, the house hold on the game is quite a bit higher than the 0.2-3% mentioned above.
So we all pay child benefits to parents who spend their kids money in casino's, instead of their own kid(s)? That's some narcisstic sh*it, right over there. The casino's should report that to the government and take a way the child benefits from those parents.
I try my best to warn people that gambling is very predatory. It's by suckering yourself on the hope that you can win, what you could do if you won something as small as 500 bucks let alone 5k or more. You sell yourself on that dream and go to that table and start losing. Then you're in a panicked desperation because that's not just money you're losing, that's your time, your life. The time you put into a job you probably don't like, the time it'll take just to recoup that money. The bills you need to pay and now you're so desperate you bet again thinking that maybe you can make your money back. One of two things happens, you fall more into desperation as you lose or you start winning and forget how panicked you were a second ago and switch back to hoping you could win. Either way it usually ends the same, play long enough, and the house wins.

![The Dumbest Dare You Ever Took [Part 2] (r/AskReddit)](/img/tr.png)
I played on an online gambling app that came with a chat room. My jaw always drops when I hear people casually say they lost $1,000.
i once saw someone losing 3k in like 20 mins at a poker table the guy was sitting beside me but he was being a dick to me so i didnt care
dang, typically $100 can last me anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 hours at the tables. i can't even begin to comprehend dropping 20 mill in 20 minutes
I don’t understand how people can spend DAYS in there. I when to one once for 2 hours and I was ready to go home.
Same. Spent more time in the restaurant than at the slots.
Went to a casino for the first time. I walked away when I was $50 or so ahead, and found out I was only in there for an hour when I left
Same for real, its way too many lights and sounds and I start to get a small headache after a while
Especially with how terrible it smells in there

You could say the same of any leisure activity.
@@General12th that's different.
Gambling can be fun. I never lose more then $20. Feel bad for the people who are addicted. I go maybe twice a year.

Watching this after a 3k loss today doesn’t make it feel any better though😂😭

These stories make not wanna go to the casino as much as i use to
"4 AM in the morning." Glad he explained or we would have thought he meant 4 AM at night.
I hate when people say that
like when people say "smh my head", or "rip in peace"

Some people have so much money to waste, make you wonder how are they getting it.
Watched a couple blow there welfare check and then get in a fist fight. Banned from the casino for life.

I need to watch more of these about gambling, it'll encourage me to not gamble anymore (although I control it well now)
I’m the same. I’m now from playing every day I’m now on $100 a month
And people wonder why gambling is still illegal in so many places...
