Gambling-The Dream of America

by Noe on August 4th, 2010

Isn’t that what betting is all about. You are always hopeful which you can acquire a thing for nothing, or at least quite little. Don’t you recall what your mother told you? You cannot acquire something for nothing. That is what my mother told me, and I have found out since then that she was completely right. I think Wilson Mizner stated it best, when he stated, "Gambling: The sure way of getting nothing for something." Really, at the end of the day, that’s it…..correct?

In the great state of Montana they’ve these fantastic little equipment, known as keno machines. These keno equipment are everywhere, and the places that these equipments reside are referred to as "gambling dens". I put betting houses is quotes because they aren’t gambling establishments like you consider of gambling houses. You will discover no table game or slot machine game products, just video poker and keno machines. In any case, I managed to get myself roped in to the dream of winning a few hundred dollars in a sitting. The next issue I knew I was going back to these equipment almost daily. After a few months of this I realized that no one definitely wins. Oh certain, you might win $50 here and there, except over span of time your just feeding the machines 5 dollar bills like they were candy.

I was able to look at myself and I don’t even go into the "casinos" any more. I have met persons who honestly pretty much lost everything they have playing the stupid keno machines. The issue that gets me about this sort of betting will be the fact that gambling dens will advertise around the radio that they have an eighty five per cent payback rate. This may be the rate because it’s mandated by law. A 85 per-cent payback rate sounds fantastic, except whenever you consider about it this merely means that should you place $1 into the machines it gives eighty five cents back . This really is how it works. Just imagine of it as a reverse ATM. When I started thinking of wagering in these terms, I stopped.

I suppose that is my goal with this article. To get you to realize that you just genuinely can’t win, no matter what other folks tell you. As Doc Holiday said in Tombstone, "The odds are all on the casino." That and only that is the only reason there’s even a place on this planet called Sin City. Because the odds are all about the casino.
