    cus people that dont do it for a living are often ignorant - they are casual gamblers who do it for fun and entertainment on the weekend -

    All the general public who likes a little gambling dreams and thinks it would be fun to fiddle in a casino and play games all day for a job - Fortunately for the masses most people see this as unrealistic so they dont bother trying.

    those that do this for a living - they imagine them making easy money - they dont understand everything involved

    Casino gaming is for fun. Do not expect or even hope to win a lot. It is called recreational gaming. You cannot realistically expect to win lot, although you can have a good time for little expense and there is a chance you will even come out ahead if you know your games. Some people have fun with casino games. Some people just become more depressed as a result. You get out of the game what you put into it. I live in Las Vegas. I have worked in casino gaming for 20 years. I know how to play for fun and I know how to gamble and I know the difference between the two. If you are over 21, have some disposable income, and some free time, you can learn to play the games and enjoy them. You may never become rich doing it, But you can have a good time. Call me and I'll teach a few things.

    I'd rather at least make money by having SOME fun.

    Otherwise I could be (gag) selling insurance or changing tires for a living - or some thankless, worthless job like that.

    So what's the point? Nobody wants to starve.

    Because it's fun.

    Try going to http://www.centsports.com/?opcode=466356 and try betting there. It's free, and you start with 10 cents. It's actually really exhilarating when you win.. surprisingly. And you can cash out at $20. :o
