Friday Wisdom – Gambling

Posted on 07/16/2021 by Andrew Reynolds

I do live in a town with casinos so here are some insights on gambling.

Gambling is a tax on people who are bad at math.

Why don’t pirates play poker? They’re always stand on the deck.

I played strip poker the other night – played my socks off.

I got asked to leave the casino last week. They said I was eating chips.

Why did the vampire leave the poker game? Some one raised the stakes.

How do you make a million gambling? Start with 10 million.

Why do large maps always lose at poker? They keep folding.

Don’t gamble in the jungle – too many cheetahs.

An American in London won 2,000 pounds and was heard saying, “Wow that’s a ton of money.”

What did the blackjack dealer say to the old deck of cards? I can’t deal with you.

The best chance of getting a Royal Flush in a casino is in the bathroom.

    Ha! Good ones, all. And you’re right about the most probable location for a Royal Flush. I’ve never seen one happen with a deck of cards. šŸ˜‰

    “How do you make a million gambling? Start with 10 million.” is just so true. I am so glad that I don’t gamble, it is such an obviously stupid thing to do. Slot machines in England can be programmed to keep up to 85% of the money going in. I certainly wouldn’t want to have an operation with a 15% chance of survival!

      They do the same thing here. In Los Vegas, they started building the resorts with rides and shows because people are catching on to the downside of gambling.

    I think the line about gambling being a tax on people bad at math is excellent. So true! It can be kind of fun once in a while, though. šŸ™‚
