I dropped $800 playing blackjack the other night.  1st time I'd been to a Casino in about 2 years.  That visit will should last me for another 2.  I used to enjoy it more, but it's just not as fun now. 

It might be more of a thrill if I were betting $1k per hand instead of $25 or $50.  But I don't really wanna do that.  

If you are lucky enough to get a table with knowledgeable players who dont peel bust cards off the stack trying to split 9s...you can do well.

Trotter: Who do you like in the 2nd?

Looney: 6 horse.

Trotter: (crosses out 6 horse)  You got a brother?

Looney: In Cleveland.

Trotter: Call him up, ask him who he likes. I figure it's in the blood!

AAA+++

Trotter: You never know, I might not even lose that bad.

:thumbsup:  My line is:  They are not building billion dollar casinos on people breaking even!  Anyone that says they regularly break even is lying.  

I stay pretty close to even at poker. Sometimes I win a couple hundred. Sometimes I lose my stake. Once in a blue moon I'll do well in a tourney and bring home a grand or two.

Poker is different; the house makes money by taking cuts vs. beating you.

 This by far. Read an article about the movie and said horse gamblers didn’t go see it. They were at the track.😁

Absolutely Let it ride. Used to watch that on vhs many times as a kid. Second is Rounders.

I’m both a horse player and poker player so both are 1 and 1a. 
While Let it Ride is more action and Rounders more drama - gun to my head I gotta go Rounders.
