USA Today snapshot on gambling
After lurking awhile on these forums, I guess I shouldn't be surprised by things like this...
[ QUOTE ] Among the 30% of Americans who went to a casino during the past year, more than half came out even or won more than they lost. 20% Won more than lost 33% Came out even 43% Lost more than won [/ QUOTE ] I wonder if the "30% of Americans going to a casino" part is even correct? (the original graphic is at this link original link in flash it's in flash, under the section Money, item 11 of 20) |

That seems like it could be right, but my guess is that there are actually more who lost - I think a lot of people who may have lost a bit will respond to a survey by saying that they "broke even"

Re: USA Today snapshot on gambling
Oh no! My favorite casinos must be teetering on the verge of bankruptcy since over half their patrons don't donate a dime!!!! [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]
Truth: IMO, on average, most winners win $100 or so, Breakeveners probably lost $100 or so but consider the free drinks and entertainment value in their assessment, Losers dropped $500+. |
