RE: [vpFREE] Need Polite Reply-contest

Then my reply would be that they only time your are guarenteed to be a "winner" in a casino is if you are wagering their money and enjoying the benefits. As was pointed out long agao---look around you when you are in a casino---look at the people working both on the scene and behind, look at the decor----these things need to be paid for---casinos are not built on winners. Yes, there is the ocassional "big" hit and yes there are people that make a living off of gambling---these people however are well schooled and have the equilvalent of a PhD in the subject----"winning" is a subjective term that means different things to different people. For some sitting at a local casino bar, drinking for free while playing .25 video poker is a break even proposition and they consider it winning---others see having "free" food, rooms, etc. in resort settings that would cost $500 for a weekend as winning---Yes, we have the ability to walk, change machines, watch a movie----it is all determined by what "we" want to risk. If risk exceeds the benefits and puts you in a lousey mood then it is best you find something else to do.....

Just my opinion

I have Bob Marley tickets for next Saturday at the Playboy Comedy Club for the first person that can help me with this Listener question. I don't know how to answer it politely.

I have cleaned up the grammar and spelling.

From anonymous: I think one of the biggest advantages we have over casinos is the ability to walk out when we are losing. If you don't leave when you are losing, how can you expect to come out ahead?

Yata yata yata...(about a paragraph truncated...don't worry you're not missing anything)

I think you should only stay in a casino when you are winning.
