Haha ya man.

I was really excited to go the casino when I was younger.

Laid down $20 on the roulette table on my 19th birthday - gone instantly.

another $20 in slots wiped out in a few minutes. Soured on the casino experience almost instantly. The only time I go there now is if my Grandma or friends want to have a birthday there or go for the evening. I won't go there under my own power.

Even then if I do gamble it's $20 max just so nobody asks why don't you gamble. I don't get it at all. For someone like me who is pragmatic and understand the odds I can't justify it.

How can you think you will win? They have the fancy building, can pay staff, upkeep, property tax, equipment costs and so forth and still make money hand over fist. What chance do you have lol?

and even when they do win on slots its not like you get rich you probably even out at best with all the money you dumped into them
but pretty much everybody knows that one person that won so they think they can do it
i know a buddy who was getting super lucky at roulette until one day he ripped like 1k cause he thought he had it figured out and just kept going assuming he would win it back like the other times

Personally I enjoy 3 card poker tables

It’s been many years since I lost money playing that game

Nothing big but usually walk away up $100-200

E. Kane’s pregnant wife has been posting public stories on Instagram claiming he bets on his own games, is out partying in Europe while she is left to pack the house because the bank is foreclosing, he isn’t supporting his 1 year old daughter, out cheating with another woman in LA, etc etc

The guy seems like a total pos, but might have something else wrong mentally it seems, because how can anyone be THAT shitty

He released like 2 statements to respond to it, against his lawyers advice. Basically saying she's mentally unwell. Although even if she is mentally unwell, I can see why... She's pregnant and pissed she's taking care of their kid herself while he's partying it up in Europe with his ex.

I mean… I believe her, Kane clearly has a gambling addiction and has lost all of his money.

She said he flies out to casinos on off days to try to count cards with criminals. It’s pretty unfortunate. Not sure how the Sharks could ever let the guy play again after all of this (or at least until investigation ) NHL will investigate the gambling claims I’m sure

Yeah this is messy af, I feel bad for their kids
Imagine being a star in the NHL and earned enough finances to set you up and your family for life... But u choose to gamble and give that all up.
She just slammed him
https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/comments/ovueg3/newest_instagram_stories_by_kanes_wife_as_of_1140/

Imagine being broke af, but u still gamble. Imagine ignoring your lawyers advice, that u pay for while in debt lol

NHL will probably step in if this escalates any further, and come to a conclusion to penalize the Canucks cuz he's from bc.

between Kane, Eichel, Fleury, Mailloux, the Aldrich cover-up... what a drama clusterfuck offseason.

oh yeah, and now Pegula is asking Buffalo taxpayers to give him over a billion dollars for the Bills and Sabres LOL

This type of corporate welfare is ridiculous.

Taxpayer money should only be given if it is virtual guarantee of a quick turnaround and return of capital with interest for the taxpayer.

Otherwise he can build his own arena.

hope we can somehow terminate his contract, dudes a pos

side note, i do like playing blackjack and drinking free drinks and eating nice dinners, so the casino is fun every once and a while. usually come out ahead and since we go 2-3 times a year they comp rooms.

+ they got like a kids area and a water park deal that the boys love

if youre not a full blown degen casinos are fine but if you have addiction issues best to steer clear
