"I learned my casino lesson by dropping $90.."

That's funny. I was 11 or 12 and played chuck-a-luck at the J.C. fair in Indiana. The night before, a 16 year old friend of mine showed me how to turn 50 cents into $3.50. The next night I came back with my life's savings (about $14.00) and lost it all in less than 5 minutes. I have never had the desire to gamble, since.

O.K. Availability doesn't cause compulsive gambling. Availability facilitates it.

BTW, I used to live in Michigan. Where are you?

Can't argue there.

Livingston County - 1/2 way between Lansing and Detroit.
