    I don’t understand gambling. I really like games that involve strategy, even if there is a random component, but whenever it’s apparently against the rules to count cards or in any way give yourself a better chance of winning, I just don’t get it. So I won by complete accident? No skill on my part? Why the fuck am I even playing then?? This may be downplaying the serious addictive qualities of gambling, and I don’t mean to do that. To some people it is fun. I just really don’t get it.

      When i turned 19 (legal gambling age here) my mom took me to a casino and I played slots while she watched. I hit the bonus round on like spin 3 and won like $20 (we were poor it was penny slots) and my mom is like cheering and I didn’t understand at all.

      I just pushed a button and it says you win or you don’t win… ok? I like poker
