Why does everyone here act like trying to gambool underage is such a heinous act?

It's not a heinous act. But I don't think anyone would gamble if they knew they were overwhelming underdogs walking into a situation. As one poster said earlier, there's 1 out of 7 or 8 situations that likely favor the underage player. Then you have to factor in the odds of being a slight underdog to the casino's odds. Not to mention getting caught could land you in jail costing you even more than losing would. Using a fake is even worse. Good security can spot a fake with ease, and they don't just confiscate it... they help prosecute.
The pokerroom is the best place to go if you are going to try and get away with it. But I've seen the older players ask the floor to check someone's id (especially if the kid is winning). No player likes a kid walking into the pokerroom and having the kid take their money illegally.
So, it's a losing proposition. And, if you don't care about the money and want to lose it, then go for it. But, I don't think anyone goes out gambling thinking... "oh, I can't wait to lose this 1K... it's gonna be great!"
