BTW, these are all true, except for the last point, casinos and casino parking lots are highly monitored and quite safe.

No they aren't all true.
To your last point, many cardrooms aren't that well monitored or patrolled. The old hideaway was a fine example of a place to be careful of late a night. Another one that comes to mind is one called 'midway' in a seedier area around here. Someone could easily roll someone outside the Emerald Queen before any security even thought to come help.
Be aware of the surroundings outside upon entering a casino/cardroom. It's one of the first things I look at when entering a new room.
You think one should be intimidated by a casino or the people he plays against? That lack of this means he's addicted? yeah, right.
