Somewhat of a hijack: Something that really annoys me is when you get the pair of jacks or better on a video poker machine and just get your money back, and WINNER!, in big letters, flashes on the screen. I've even run across video slot machines where I put 5 coins in, get three back, and the machine tells me I'm a WINNER! Do they think I'm stupid? Well come to think of it, if I'm in a casino playing a -EV machine, maybe it's not so unreasonable for them to assume that I'm stupid.

The casino is just being honest. They think of every dollar that walks in the door as belonging to them, every time you get to keep a little of your money for a little longer makes you a winner. Everyone can be a winner!
