Winning at the Casino

I saw an ad on TV for one of the multitude of casinos around Seattle. What fun it seemed to spend your evenings gambling. How much more fun to WIN! Now of course, the casino doesn't say that the way they make so much money is that people keep coming back to win, but ultimately lose. Go often enough and certainly a percentage of what you bring will wind up in the casino bank.
But what a price for being entertained, if winning money is entertainment.
Imagine that this is your favorite entertainment and you do win money. When are you going to spend it? What good is the money you win if you don't have any other priorities on which to spend it?
Now, now..you can't use it to pay your bills. If you need it for that, then you shouldn't be gambling in the first place. That's just irresponsible.
Gambling - a waste of time. Spend your money and your time having real fun.
