"Don't waste the money you don't have with something that will not bring that back to you".
That's one of the best casino and life advice I received in my life...
Casino houses are made to statistically beat you in long, in medium and, also, in short term, so be carefull if you want to play casino games and try to do it with only a few cents or, even better: with play money...
The only thing that makes poker be profitable for some people, is that we play against each others, but, for example, if I was playing against GGPoker or PokerStars, I would be loosing everytime, because they would create rules to favor themselves (they, actually, secretly do something like this when they put abusive rakes in their sites, anyway; but, clearly, is not the same as you playing a
roulette or a slot game, for example).
