    I knew a couple that did that, old hippies and math geniuses, they raised a kid and have a pretty nice house. It's basically sticking to a formula that eeks you out a bit of profit over a long period. It seems worse than working a real job to me.

      plus in most instances you get to breathe cigarette smoke the whole fucking time at the tables

        Not here. The casinos are run by the government and are smoke free. They run the casinos but electricity is privatized.

      Any time I find myself in a casino it's the only thing I do, I almost always win some money but I can't imagine relying on something like that for actual income. I've heard many stories of people having mental breakdowns during extended cold streaks.

      Counterpoint for live poker specifically - it's incredibly cathartic taking a whole bunch of money from an obnoxious trust fund kid.
