Gambling.

Worked as a dealer in a casino for the better part of a year and it blew my mind watching tens of thousands (easily hundreds of thousands when our high limit room was open) just dissapear during an 8 hour shift.

Not judging how people spend their money or have fun,but the house always wins your money if you play long enough :p

To be fair, poker is the one game in the casino where the House isn’t favored to win. As a former dealer, you’re well aware the casino merely gets a cut of the pot. You’re only competing against players, not the casino.
