I used to feel bad about saying that, but now I don't. I encourage people who play the lottery to give me their money instead, as they will get the same result either way.

I did venture into a casino once only to immediately lose the money I had set aside to give it a go. I was soooo mad at myself. t took less then 20 minutes for me to lose the cash.

For me, it's a fixed entertainment expense; I have a fixed amount that I come to AC/Vegas with and when its gone its gone, a few comp drinks to the wind and entertained. But I really don't understand the scratch-off tickets... Call me a hypocrite, but I do enjoy the excitement of the gaming tables once or twice a year.

I loathe the lottery and gambling. Not for any moral reason; I happen to be a pretty amoral person. However, Gambling just grinds my gears. It's a poor mans tax and I simply cannot justify spending my money for a "chance" at more. Hear hear!
