> enough entertainment gambling for at least an hour. So in the end, even if everything is lost, I had my fun.

I wonder what you find entertaining/fun about this. I've been to casinos a couple of times. The only parts I found entertaining were observing people and the free drinks.



Once every two years it's kind of fun. And playing the odds, well sure probabilities are low, buts that's what is to understand about it. By no means as complex as, say, blackjack. And I like to have at least a slight idea of what I'm getting into. Blackjack, no chance. Roulette, at least I know the odds up front whatever they may be.

And yes, the other people are the sometimes the funniest part. And the saddest. Seeing people using what is my month salary in around two hours... On the other hand playing only one or two bucks per game and others reaction is fun.
