Everything else in there is a guaranteed loser, given enough time

This is true, but the odds didn't catch up with me last week in Las Vegas. I played slots and won over a thousand dollars. Paid for the trip.

The trick is walking away while you're ahead, and not getting greedy. But in the long run, it doesn't matter - odds are, they'll get it back from you on your next trip or two ;)

Yeah, sure it did. Somebody's paying to build all of those nice casinos. They always get you in the long run. If you are gambling because you think you are going to make money, get help. If you are gambling for entertainment and consider the losses to be the price of admission, keep doing it.
