Got your ticket?

I said fuck it and tossed in 10 bucks.

who didn't ha

Me.

Gambling is a voluntary waste of money.

Yeah, you could beat the completely impossible odds, but the odds are against it.

Tax on people who don't understand math.

Blackjack gives you the best odds, but they're still incredibly small and heavily biased towards the house.

Not to mention if you start actually winning, the casino can throw you out "just cuz" and you may not be able to even keep your winnings.

It is never the odds on the game, it IS fantasy of winning.

Two dollars for four days of fantasy? Great dollar cost average.

ROI is teh sux, do.

This is the second time I've ever played the lottery. The first was when I turned 18. That was 17 years ago The jackpot is so damn high, throwing down 10 bucks on a lark is not a big deal.

The lottery is just a poor person tax and for those who apparently NEED fantasy

All those places are depressing as hell. Been dragged to a couple. I hate gambling to begin with, but those Indian Casinos are full of white trash motherfuckers and other miscellaneous dirt bags and depressing fuckers. Vegas for the trailer park crew. No thanks.

I've always said that the lottery is a tax on the mathematically inept but I just read an article about how some MIT students found out how to spend enough on lotto tickets to get a 10-15% return on their investments

We installed an accounting system for a casino once.

Your typical accounting system has 3 basic components: the General Ledger (GL - that's the big accounting part), Accounts Payable (AP - bills that you owe other folks), and Accounts Receivable (AR - what folks owe you for services).

Casinos don't have AR. Money just shows up. Just walks in the door. They account for it via a different system.

I play the big jackpots. At this level, modulo the chance of splitting the pot, they're a "fair bet" (odds payout matches odds of success).

Can't win if you don't play. I gamble with my life every day I walk out the door, may as well gamble with something mostly meaningless like $2.

Bring on the lightning.

Yea I've actually never played before. I actually hadn't intended on playing (because that required going somewhere lol) but happened to walk by a convenient store after going out for dinner yesterday and threw down 4 bucks. Not complaining if nothing happens (1:300million odds haha)

The odds is mistakenly being the winner, despite not playing, are just as good.

They might as well have a big sign on the entrance door, "Come and have fun paying our overhead bills!"

I'm actually more curious which poor city department is going to get gutted when the office pool wins.

Nonsense. My math abilities be epic and I play.

That nearly got me to play today as an insurance bet. If my office pool won, I would have been managing partner tomorrow, because everyone else played except me. Course they would have all been millionnaires. Weird dynamic.

I had no idea they were $2 each! Ya, that was my Powerball cherry getting broke.

Tax on people who don't understand math or people who have a gambling addiction.

Get off your high horse people. $2 or $10 or whatever it is isn't going to bankrupt anyone with an income, and it's fun to imagine what if.
I don't buy lotto myself, but seriously, get off it.

This. Start a damn thread about it and quit destroying this one.

That said, playing the lotto is like voting. Your vote (ticket) is completely unlikely to make a difference at all (Be the winning one). But it allows you to bitch (dream) about the possibilities and results.

Lotto is just entertainment, that's the value in it. How much do you spend on a movie ticket or cable for a month?

shoot if I had won it I be building a 1st-class GP track on the old NAS Alameda...

Someone needs to...ashamed to not have one in the BA...

I don't get why some people will only buy a ticket for the mega jackpots. $50M-$60M isn't worth the cost of a 2 buck ticket to them.

For the same reason a rat bike has fifty or sixty dollars of stickers on the body work. It's all about the fantasy, not the reality.

No seriously, can anyone explain how that happens?
Rotor cracks and then.....

Extremely worn brake pads, and the metal nubs that hold the brake pad compound to the metal backing backing broke through the rotor. Those nubs/pads are now touching and hold the outer ring between them and the caliper.

That's my guess.
