There is a major horse racing track and casino 5 miles from my house. In 32 years I have been twice. I start with $20 to blow, and it is like going to the movies, just entertainment. It is weird how watching the horses race with no bet is kinda boring, but if I have two bucks on a horse, suddenly I am cheering on the horse that is never going to win.
I was done with it, and made a final bet of 4 bucks to "blow the wad" of my betting money and lost that as well. I spent more on beer and food than the 20 bucks of betting. I had fun, and went home. I have not been back in over 32 years. I can think of better ways to waste money.
Yea, I am not a gambler.
The largest casino on the planet is in Oklahoma. Casinos are all over the place. All of them are there to make money, just like the lottery. The odds are always in the favor of the house, or the lottery.
