I heard on the Larry Elder show this afternoon that Bennett has lost $8,000,000 over the last ten years. If that doesn't hurt...I wonder where he got his money - just an aside.
I go to Vegas a couple of times a year, I have a close friend who lives there, I lose almost every time. My view is: Maybe if they built the Hotel\Casinos out of solid gold, just maybe the visitors would understand...the gamblers lose.
Point being; almost every player loses. Almost certainly almost every regular gambler loses.
Would you consider it losing if the casino charged you $100 to enter to "have fun," and then let you play the games with fake chips? If you play craps, you can easily play for a few hours very cheaply by playing the pass line and taking odds. It might cost you a few bucks. Yes, on average you will "lose" those dollars, but you've gotten some entertainment.
