View submission: Is gambling easy?
What they said. It's like in dare class when they said people would give you free drugs so you want more. That never actually happened but that's exactly what casinos do. For everyone that takes the deal and walks away they can snag 20 people that will dump all their money into it so they still win.

To be fair, there were people offering free drugs. It just wasn't a "Here's a free sample, now buy the product," thing; it was a "Hey, I'm doing this thing that I like to do, do you want to do it with me?"

I’ve been waiting a long time to find these free drug people DARE told me about back in the early 90s. If I didn’t know better I’d say those cops were lying to us kids.
