    I've become a degenerate
    But I was just never as bad as you.

    So anyways, what brings this on?

        I can walk through and spend time in Casinos for hours without playing a single table game or machine.

        I grew up around gambling, learned all about it, now, for some reason, I get little joy out of playing the -EV games.

        I probably won't gamble at all when in Vegas later this month. When I go to South Shore, I will probably not gamble as well.

        Business trips.

            I like trying to hit the hard 6 and 8, stupid bet because the house take is around 9%, it is sweet when they hit though.

                  It's the lure of easy money. Usually I'll sit and grind it out on the 1/2 tables or catch a cheap tournament. What gets me is playing the quick hits...trifecta with my fav #'s 2-6-7, tossing $10 on boxcars four rolls in a row, putting $20 in a slot machine, putting ten bucks on 15 black, just stupid one time bets. BTW I have hit on these bets before, especially $10 on 12 craps! That's a nice quick 3 bills to make your day!

                            It can be a lot like sports.

                            The public has less money and make up the gambling population

                            But the big whales bet a large chunk, making up far less of the gamblers.

                            A big whale can have an effect on some quarterly reports for casinos.

                            The public can't do that.

                                It's the 80 20 rule.

                                80% of your business comes from 20% of your customers.

                                  The 80-20 rule as it applies to casino trips... When you find yourself "up" $500 and your winnings fall down to $400... Leave. You have lost 20% and MUST leave with the 80%.
