Low stakes.

I've been in a casino a half-dozen times. I've had a few poker games with friends. I pretty much write off the money as entertainment the second I walk in the door.

Lately, I've had a series of stupid bets with friends. About a year or so ago, when two wives in our circle of friends were pregnant and had due dates within one week of each other, I bet one friend $5 on which one would pop first.
