Haven't been back since and I don't think I was misguided because I was sitting, playing a fools' game with one of my best friends, drinking for free and oggling hot women for 9 hours.

But hey, like I said, you have made us all aware how superior you are on multiple occasions here so I don't know why I'm even bothering!
It's not people like you who are misguided. I think it was pretty obvious I was talking about the myriad degenerates you see in those places. If that wasn't obvious I apologize.

And, yes, it happens to be closely related to my vocation, so I have first hand experience with the types of people I speak of.

But the fact remains it's -EV and pretty much throwing money away. But if you get enough fun out of the tertiary benefits of gambling in a casino to warrant the expected value lost in the process, and you are not a degenerate, then that's fine.
