[QUOTE="ANGREY, post: 15812594, member: 188865"] It's a crime not to separate a fool from his money. And there's lots of people with more money than sense. I gamble a lot. Over the years, my relationship with money and my attitude toward money has changed immensely. Gambling, more than any other activity, shows you, demonstrates to you the various ways people look at money and look at it differently. It's difficult for people to imagine the decisions made for people with WAY MORE money. You can go to a casino where people are desperately seeking a table that's a $5 minimum, because $5/hand is enough to make a dent in what they can afford to lose, and you can walk by people who have so much money, the casino has secured a private room for them where dealers stand, just in case the person wants to play (sometimes all day and the person never shows up). To those people, playing $5/hand is not only a waste of time, it doesn't even begin to illicit the desired euphoria of gambling because winning $5 is about as emotional to them as it would be for you or I to win .001 pennies. Imagine if I told you that you could play a game where if you won a thousand hands in a row, you'd make an entire penny. Or conversely, a game where if you lost 1000 hands in a row, you'd lose an entire penny. It would be useless to you. And THAT is how much money some people have and how they see the world. I guess what I'm saying is that there's people out there that look at the price and vomit and others who look at the price and it's like you or I looking at a piece of bubble gum being $.02 or $.03. There aren't many of them out there, but those are the people these prices are aimed at. [/QUOTE]
