Quote: AxiomOfChoiceThey just gamble enough that they are unlikely to lose (due to their edge). But they are still gambling. So are you.
Nah. They are conducting business. Unlike the 90% of businesses who fail in the first 5 years that weren't gambling, casinos basically always succeed for at least 5 years once open. Gambling (wagering on random chance) is the only thing in the world that leads to a virtually certain and favorable outcome if you are opening a business? LOL, no I don't buy it. I can respect the other side of the argument that APs are engaged in gambling...but that the casino too is gambling, can't go that far. Not only do they make up the rules, they have, for all intents and purposes (intensive purposes if you prefer), unlimited cash. They decide who can play and who can't. And the math says the sun is more likely to explode tomorrow than the casino is likely to go on a losing streak that will cause bankruptcy.
Quote: Lemieux66I think as a whole, they aren't gambling. But with each individual hand/spin/whatever they are gambling.
I would go to a gambler's anonymous meeting just to hear this excuse. If I gamble long enough, it's not gambling.

No. Just no.
They run enough things that have house edge and bad players where it's basically inconceivable they can have a losing month and obviously a losing year. But still, the house is still gambling on an individual blackjack hand. It's just a small edge, more or less, on one hand dealt.

This brings back completely unrelated memories.

No means NO! Unless she isn't sure...

No means ask until the answer changes.
Quote: DraculaIf there's a long inflection at the end of no, it means yes.
Nah, that'd clearly be rape.
Quote: SonuvabishNah, that'd clearly be rape.

Well, you should probably kill the witness hint hint.

Throw a "but you're so beautiful" in there and if it's close you max bet an "I Love You".

Seriously?Quote: AxelWolfApparently Djatc was raped by a gay soldier and now he drives a Miata.
