And while on the subject of gambling, get this:
About 5 years ago we took a week long cruise on a Carnival ship, and of course they have casinos on board. You could even gamble from the comfort of your room, playing blackjack, etc. using the remote control on your tv set. Your wagers and wins/losses were tied to the credit card you used for services on board.
Now, tell me, if you were stupid enough to do that, how do you know the people who set up the tv gambling system DID NOT rig the odds heavily in favor of the house? In the casino, playing blackjack, you could at least watch the dealer as he dealt the cards. Probably there are people who are stupid enough to think any gambling is on the level.....:laughing::laughing::thumbdown:
