Casino games
We went to a charity casino last night (which meant you bought un-refundable chips only and had to lose the lot!) yet still only played the one game with decent odds - Blackjack.
What's everyone else's favourite casino type game?"The Jaguar's going cheap"
"Shouldn't it be purring?" :confused:

Usually Blackjack, or low-pot poker. Straight and low-hold...
There's also craps... show the dice some love, and they'll love you back.
Atlantic City is not too far for me... just a ride up the Interstate 95 and there you are.Defend mediocrity... because excelence is just too hard to achieve. :p

Gambling addiciton is ugly.....but that doesn't mean people who can gamble once in a while cannot enjoy it and millions do.
I enjoy Roulette the most or have at least had the most success at it. I also love playing Texas Hold'em but I don't lump it it in with the other casino games since the "house" doesn't really control the game, the players do. You play your adversaries and it is a game of more skill than any other game foun in a casino. Luck is involved to be sure, but a skillful Poker player can beat that luck often, and you look no further than the big names of poker and how they consistently find ways to win in tournament play. Not to mention they have no other means of support!!!"Water for my horses, beer for my men and mud for my turtle".

Tazio...it is funny but the Sports Book and horseracing are where I found in Vegas I was just stupid. I went for a holiday there and the novelty of betting on horse races all over the world, betting on sports everywhere and drinking free beer was a costly exercise!!!!
