But, but, but, you can get rich there. All you need is the right poker
hand or roll of the dice.

When I was about 12 I was at Jimmy's house one summer afternoon and we
were playing cards. Jimmy's father came home early and asked if we
wanted to learn how to play better. He gave us a lesson on gambling and
why the house always wins. The few times I was in a casino I may has
****ed away 20 bucks for entertainment value, but it is really dumb the
way people live for the fantasy of the big win.
