at least in Vegas, you know the odds of winning. On Wall Street,
you have no idea if the table is even level on any given day.
LOL! I'll drink to that!!!
Seeing how occassionally crooked casino operators end up being
capped by girlfriends or frustrated by the gaming commission there
in Nevada.
On Wall Street, monumental jerks fly huge companies into the ground,
walk away with golden (h-ll, PLATINUM) parachutes...and they only
have to secure their "buckets of money" by crying crocodile
tears in front of a Congressional committee.
Mafia capos that screw up as bad as that wouldn't live out the year.
Heck, maybe a day!!!
On basic ethics/morality...I would entertain the premise that
Las Vegas gaming houses are up the scale from many of the head
honchos of Wall Street!

If you blow all your money in Vegas, they will give you free drinks.
If you blow all your money on Wall Street... yeah, the windows open on the 27th and 40th floors.
