This is inspired by a comment I saw in another thread. I hate to admit it but I like gambling more.

If I liked money more, I wouldn't gamble it away:-)

it was my earlier comment, i believe, so i voted for money.
as much as i love gambling and all of the games i play
(BJ, craps, baccarat, roulette, PGT, PGP, 3CP, sic bo)
you need money to gamble and have a good time at any of these games.
let's face it, playing any casino games for nickels and dimes is not as much fun.
i am a lot more excited walking out of a casino with 70 hundred dollar bills than i am walking in with 50 of them.

another thought:
if every casino on earth closed tomorrow, how upset would you be?
as upset as you would be if you lost your job, bank account, and every asset you currently possess?
didn't think so...

If given two choices;

A) $10,000,000 and never gamble again.

B) $8,000,000 and you can continue gambling.

I'll take Option B.
Craps is the most "Jekyll and Hyde" casino game ever invented!

I can't decide... I've often thought that my favorite part of a trip to Vegas is getting my bankroll together. However, I'm not going to just sit on it when I get there.

i too would take option B. but i still love money more.

how about this:
option A.
get $10,000,000 to never gamble in a casino again.

option B.
work for minimum wage with no money left after expenses.
live next to your favorite casino, gamble anytime 24/7.
scramble to get together the money for a one hour session at your favorite game once a month.

it is no contest; you can't have the same experience gambling without money.

Why specifically did you pick 20% as the worth of gambling? Why not 10%, 30%, 50%?
Why 10 million - not 1 or 100?

There's always horse racing. Hitting an exacta or a pick 3 can be verrrryyyyy exciting.
