I play softball with a guy who is constantly at a casino in downtown Detroit.

I don't know how he does it but he wins and he loses as if it's no big thing to him. It's more like a recreational sport for he and his wife.

He's always talking about building up points and getting free dinners, free night stays and even occasional free trips to Vegas.........

I guess he has some sort of a points card that he puts in the poker machines that records all the bets he makes which earn him the points..

Well, there is the entertainment factor to consider about gambling. Many people find gambling a lot of fun. If someone can play all night, loose 80-90 bucks but have a blast, is that any worse than paying $150 (or much more) to watch a 2 hour Rolling Stones concert?
