Gambling stuff
Acidman posted about this the other day. I'm watching the Roulette episode now, though I did see the blackjack one he wrote about.
I agree that it's total bullshit to get thrown out just for being a skilled player. What kind of deal is that? Hey, if you're not an amateur and uninformed player, you don't get to play! Assholes.
Cheating is another thing. I don't believe paying attention to the odds on a particular Roulette wheel is cheating by any means; it is simply being smart. That's all they're doing in this particular episode. If you do cheat, you deserve to get left in the alley missing teeth; the problem is that casinos are prone to calling you a cheater just for winning regularly.
I'll never play a game of chance that doesn't involve skill on my part. Blackjack? Sure. Poker? Absolutely. Texas Hold'em is my favorite game, though neighborhood poker (each dealer gets to play whatever variation of poker he wants) is very fun.
