I for one am glad that poker isn’t going anywhere. I think that it is a matter of no matter how great something is, no matter how much people enjoy it and stuff you will always find some people out there who want to whinge and complain about it and take it away from everyone who enjoys it. These people annoy me to no end. They wouldn’t like it if we tried to take away their things that they enjoy. It isn’t as though we are harming anyone with our gambling, if we are silly enough to send ourselves broke then that is our own problem. Professional poker players and poker players in general do plenty to help out the community, they don’t get the credit that they really deserve.

It comes as no surprise to me that it took the expertise of organised crime in order to get gambling back up and running and popular again once it was decided for it to be legalised. They were the professionals when it came to gambling. No matter what these old day bad guy gangsters did, such as Bugsy Siegal and that you still look back at them to this very day and admire them. They were bad boys but at the same time they were so good at what they did and it is hard not to admire them. I think that it is actually people like him who have been the reasons behind many people deciding to play poker. You look back at those old movies and stuff and gambling looks pretty damm good.

Lol the Rex had a good idea going there. Reminds me of an episode of the simpsons i saw on tv where they were sailing out to international waters where they could do what they wanted and not get caught by the coast guard and police and stuff. Are there any floating casinos around these days, like casino only not the casino that is a part of a cruise ship or something but an actual ship that is solely a floating casino? If there is then i would love to go, sounds like good fun.

Lol the casinos are doing well still because unlike many of those big executives and company bosses that sent those big powerful companies down the drain of financial ruin the casinos actually know how to handle money and if anything i think that there are many people out there, especially leaders in america, who could learn a thing or two about financial management from these casinos. Maybe if they knew how to spend money properly and manage their cash like the casinos know how to then we wouldn’t find our country in this situation in the first place.

It actually is so true that when the world is all happy days the act of gambling seems to be frowned upon even though there really is nothing wrong with it, and then when something goes wrong and the economy starts to go south every one starts to look at gambling with a new perspective and instead of condemming it they seem to be calling out for it to save them. Ironic really when you think about it, greedy ceos and executives and bosses of large companies taking gambles that they shouldn’t be taking with the companies money and then giving themselves big fat paychecks and bonuses only to have the companies and the economy crash, this causes the economic crisis we are in, and then it is Gambling, the outcast of social activities, that comes to save the day. Ever noticed how the casinos are doing so well still?
