I am certainly not able to do the above, but I enjoy going to the casino a couple times a year, or if I’m on a long weekend up North. I probably lose most but not all of the time. I do not ever play slot machines, I stick with games where the house advantage is very low. Those casino visits haven’t turned me into a degenerate or made me file for bankruptcy.
