adios

what evil lurks in the hearts of men?

pebkac tbh

exactly, though I know rare people who beat the house too. mind I know a couple who do it sports betting too, and I could never do either. poker on the other hand, is easy if you have half a brain and a willingness to learn ETA: it's worth noting that with a bad enough rake, poker becomes a house game

cheers! the yoke I just got delivered is 8 inches anyone still using these?

what's the back like? @@Andrew

just no, and if you're including poker in that then, lol no

don't think i've ever been to a strip club either, but it sounds like the red light district in amsterdam. fucking horrifying place

excellent

learn to take a compliment

it was so perfectly set up from a born again christian or whatever the fuck he is, I think he might be a genius

you're always bleeding off money in the long run though, which I could never get past. always thought it was funny that the only time you can gain an edge on the house at blackjack (counting) they bar you

what a weird assertion

played poker a couple times, but it's too slow compared to online. can't understand the urge to play games you can never win though, blackjack, roulette and the like

fantastic!

I feel like it's telling that alcohol and gambling span all classes, but predatory lenders have a very narrow customer base. but we're really just debating where the line should be drawn

I would be ecstatic to see the money grabbing bastard sign

where does jose enrique at newcastle fit into this argument? always considered him a left back, but he bombed forward a lot. maybe he was a wing back after all

agree with ant on the nexus, not used the 7 but the 10 is one of the best purchases I've made. and yeah, the cheaper ones are really sub standard

alcohol and gambling are primarily forms of entertainment, they are deeply ingrained in almost all cultures. I have no problem with them. payday lenders can only target the people they do, because their customers have no other option, and are only digging themselves in deeper (I suspect, for the most part). I don't know if I have a problem with that. there's clearly a big difference though.

easily the most coherent part of the thread

I don't think casinos are any more predatory than pubs. most people enjoy the entertainment, a few addicts get fucked

what's wrong with going to a casino?

same I must have spent 50% of my time in france sat in front of a fan
