Isn’t that what gambling is all about. You are constantly hopeful that you can have some thing for nothing, or at least extremely little. Don’t you remember what your mom told you? You cannot have some thing for nothing. That is what my mom told me, and I have found out since then that she was totally right. I think Wilson Mizner mentioned it greatest, when he said, "Gambling: The sure way of acquiring absolutely nothing for something." Actually, at the end of the day, that is it…..correct?
In the good state of Montana they’ve these fantastic little products, known as keno machines. These keno products are everywhere, and the places that these equipments reside are named "casinos". I put gambling houses is quotes because they aren’t gambling dens like you consider of gambling houses. There are no table casino game or slot equipment, just video poker and keno machines. In any case, I managed to acquire myself roped in to the dream of winning a couple hundred bucks in a sitting. The next point I knew I was going back to these devices almost daily. After a couple of months of this I recognized that no one actually wins. Oh certain, you might win fifty dollars here and there, but over span of time your just feeding the machines five dollar bills like they were candy.
I managed to check myself and I do not even go into the "casinos" any more. I have met persons who truthfully practically lost everything they have playing the ridiculous keno machines. The factor that gets me about this sort of gambling is the fact that gambling establishments will advertise about the radio that they have an eighty five per-cent payback rate. This would be the rate because it’s mandated by law. A eighty five per cent payback rate sounds great, except when you think about it this simply means that in the event you put a dollar into the machines it gives 85 cents back . That is how it works. Just think of it as a reverse ATM. When I started thinking of gambling in these terms, I stopped.
I suppose that’s my goal with this article. To acquire you to realize that you just definitely can’t win, no matter what other individuals tell you. As Doc Holiday said in Tombstone, "The odds are all for the casino." That and only that could be the only reason there is even a place on this planet known as Sin City. Because the odds are all for the house.
