There is something about gambling I find altogether distasteful, which is odd, because I'm actually pretty decent at cards in general and particularly poker. If I didn't feel like such a degenerate doing so, I could probably make a modest living playing casino poker. However, put me in an online poker game and I'm rather mediocre. It has something to do with not being able to observe the body language and play style of the players amongst other things. Considering how much I hate the casino, this confounds me to no end. It never fails that with every visit I innevitably mosey on over to the bar to order some food and in doing so, have to walk through the off-track horse-racing section of the Riverrock (Casino). Much though I wish I could overt my gaze, I simply cannot seem to do so. In there are quite simply some of the saddest people you will ever see. To trudge though them causes almost instantaneous revulsion and depression. No one in there ever seems to win. They're all slumped over, as if digesting the severity of their most recent loss. These people are the true losers... gamblers who have no genuine, albeit naive, expectation of winning. If I could avoid this corner of the casino I might be able to deny my better sense and conscience but my hunger invariably gets the better of me and shortly thereafter i lose my taste for being there. I suppose this is evidence of the fact that I'm really cut out to be a gambler. Oh well. I have a hard time believing that that's not for the best. Prior to this televised poker craze of the last few years, gamblers were considered thoroughly unsavoury characters and I, for one, would like to believe they still are. End rant.
