Maryland moves to keep stupid Marylanders money in Maryland
You have to be stone cold stupid to “play” slot machines.
If you are thinking about “playing” consider giving me $100.00 and I’ll give you $95.00. That is a much better deal than they give you at Dover Downs where they only let you “win” $91.00 for every $100.00 that you “gamble.”
My kids say this method of entertainment is for the ‘mathmatically challenged.’
Me, I call it a tax on poor folks…….
They can have Dave Burris too.
I got my ass handed to me intellectually when I critisized a woman buying lottery tickets. I told her, “You have no chance of winning; there is no enjoyment when you can’t win so gambling does you no good.”
She replied, “Do you drink beer?”
Gambling can be a form of entertainment or it can be a ruinous addiction. Even winning the big one is no guarantee of a better life.
I have played a few friendly games of poker in my life but my net winnings and losses over the years have never gone beyond the two digit range.
Those people who spend a substantial portion of their income on lottery tickets are losers and their status does not change even if they win prize. How many have gone from pauper to millionaire and back in less than five years?
The winners who seem to do best are folks whose ticket purchases are done as a result of a pool organized among co-workers.
The ‘pool purchasers’ get their kicks from the fantasy about how they would tell the boss where he could stick the job. The odds are daunting but the thrill per dollar spent is probably more cost-effective than that obtained after buying a movie ticket.
