Re: Chip Runner Lays Odds
Okay... I play poker. I knowingly take people's hard earned money that they may or may not need to feed their families, pay the mortages, cars, utilities, etc. This is how I make a living. It is my chosen career path and I in no way try to pretend that it's noble or that I may not be screwing the little guy. Frankly, I don't care. I'm cold-hearted and it's his own damn problem, not mine.
If I clearly have no problem taking money off of people who have a gambling problem, I certainly have no problem taking advantage of the casino being a bunch of idiots and giving me an extra $500.
You can argue my morals to death, but my beliefs are mine. I just find it hypocritical when anyone who plays poker for a living pretends to be some sort of noble, upstanding citizen who would never engage in any shading dealings. Clearly, you'd have to be lying to yourself to say this.
I don't know where I was going with this, but at least my stance should be clear. That's all I have.
