A few days ago, I went to the casino with some friends. I just watched the other guys play and I didn't gamble because I know very well that the games are set up to take your money. Strangely, though, all three of the guys that gambled at the blackjack tables made money, making between $25 and $160 within an hour or so. They made it look very easy.

...But I later found out that they just happened to be lucky that day, and they had lost hundreds, or even thousands of dollars during previous visits to the casino. I have no idea how these guys can afford to lose so much money and keep playing. As far as I know, they're just average guys and they're not rich or anything. But they don't hesitate to bring a few hundred dollars each time they visit the casino and blow it all. That just doesn't make sense; it's kind of an expensive form of entertainment. For me, every dollar is precious and I'd hate to lose my hard-earned money gambling when I could use it to buy groceries.
