Are you messin ?

I ask because I read the other week how a gambling company enticed a senile old lady to gamble, they invited her to race days, Goodwood etc, they actually took out a person who was certified as a dementia patient put her in the hospitality lounges the lot. The disgusting bastards have now been forced to repay all the money after it was found out.

I think it's great, attractive late twenties, all happy smiling faces and enjoying themselves in a 'community' of like minded friends, usually surrounded by bright colours......and they haven't got a pot to piss in.

Meanwhile, the directors and MDs of these firms are pissing themselves when they receive their annual bonuses. Fair play to them.

and it's pandemic proof! In fact I bet they are loving the lockdowns.

I have a mate who works for one of the biggest casino groups in the US. They have a very well known hotel/casino in vegas. He flies their 747 private jet. They fly individuals in from around the world, comp them in the hotel then fly them home again when they have lost all their money.

Because the clients are extremely wealthy individuals I don't have a huge moral argument against it but in reality it's just one extremely wealthy group milking money out of another extremely wealthy group.

One of my mates stories is of a client who gave him a gold rolex on the way in and asked for it back on the way home! lols

With that I aint got a problem, if you have loads of money and you are stupid enough to waste it gambling fair enough. The sad fact is that the vast majority of people who bet and inevitably lose are the ones who cannot afford it.
Fruit machines have a sticker on the machine saying something like 'guaranteed 75% pay out.' In other words, put in a quid and I will give you 75p. In what other walk of life would you do that ?

Recently the airline business!
 
I often thought that the way they advertise is ilegal , for instance they show people jumping for joy when their number lands on the roullette wheel , but that only can happen once in 36 spins , why are they not forced to show 35 losing spins and the despair of losing?
