Had a ton of buddies in college work/manage gas stations with these scratchers, they always described them as the same type of people Ok, one story. I've got a buddy. This dude puts the D in degenerate. We're out of work at 2am on new years morning. We go to another friends house for a couple hours. We head to the bar around 4:30am. We hang til around noonish when I'm set to call it quits. I ask him if he's got a way home(I'm walking) he says "yeah, [redacted] is coming to get me." Cool, I'm out. I see him on January 2nd at work and ask him how his day went, yesterday. Says he woke up in [redacted's] spare bedroom with $130 worth of scratch off winners stuffed in his jeans pockets! I said sweet. Starting the year off right. He then tells me when he walked downstairs the found $220 worth of losers thrown about the living room. "Awwww s###!!!!!" Moral of the story: He had enough money. It's the thrill of thinking 3x LIFE is coming on the next swipe of the coin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I don't doubt don't that rich people gamble a ton. I just think they do it in casinos and on sports/horses, not scratch offs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of them are sick, some are bored, some are having fun, some are laundering drug money/embezzled business funds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubkev Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 But don't you think there's a big difference in people at the slots/scratch offs between those at the tables? You'd think that based on movies. But nope. I see the win/loss statements. I know what all these people are dropping on those penny machines. My wife sold pull tabs in the bingo hall. Those old blue hairs sure do have all the money in the world. 6 figure losses for the month are not uncommon and 5 figure losses happen every single shift. Oh, and you'd be amazed at the amount of "poor people" that can find 5 grand to drop on 3 card poker. Rich people have it, poor people find it. And $20 scratch off tickets never pay out.

inkman Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 It's not. People playing scratch offs are not doing it for the thrill. They're doing it for money Well they think they are doing it for money but since the lottery only pays out 30% on scratch offs they aren't coming out ahead. I think the excitement of winning is involved rather than just passing time. if you want to do that, at least there is a happy ending. Minus PA, who just sobs after.

bcsaberks Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 Tell me about it I was there tonight and will be there on Friday. It’s been electric at T Mobile. Was there too in Hyde section. Awesome. And all the locals I talked to were humble. Just great. A couple even brought up the October tragedy and what this means to them / the community. Can't wait for Sabres experience to be even half of this (again). If KP hasn't been she should. Not just the extra pregame, they are nailing it start to finish.

Not just the extra pregame, they are nailing it start to finish. It’s crazy how so many other fans from other cities are jealous that they shouldn’t be this good and the expansion draft gave Vegas an advantage. I say ! They picked hardworking character players that work their off and each has something to prove. Plus like I have been saying you can thank two teams for Vegas being good and that’s Florida and Minnesota. Sorry that’s piss poor management on both those teams. This Vegas community has been starving for pro sports and this community fell in love with the Knights. These players are just great character guys. Their is a story about Tuch running into one of his fans and he buys her lunch and sits down with her talking hockey. How cool is that. It’s been great since rookie camp and I didn’t even think Tuch was the best player at Rookie Camp.

LGR4GM Posted May 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 (edited) Keep saying we need a drumline to run and start chants. Also someone send this to Kim Pegula, I don't need that much theatrics but the Knights have a pulse. The Sabres on the other hand are in cardiac arrest waiting for the paddles to charge.

SwampD Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 They're not mutually exclusive They kinda are. There have been plenty of times when the "in game experience" has gotten in the way of me enjoying hockey. I just don't need all that over-stimulated Disney BS to get excited about a hockey game.
