That's relatively cheap entertainment these days!
Just today I wondering if I should go to the casino. If I do so, I'm fairly confident that I won't make it out of there with a loss of only $4.
Once every month or so I meet some friends at a local casino and we spend the afternoon doing parimutuel betting on horse races. Some of those guys take it serious. I do not - I put $2 to show on the longest long shot in every race and tell lies, drink over-priced beer and grab the occasional mediocre hot dog.
You might be surprised how often my betting strategy pays off. I started doing that so I'd have a stake/interest in each race and so I wouldn't be disappointed when I lost. More often than not I come out ahead.
my wife and father-n-law love the horses, it's a father and daughter thing i guess
we go to the preakness every so often with some friends--it's neat but i get bored
