Everything gets cancelled - What does your kid do?

The only good thing about all of this for kids and us for that matter, is all of those kids will be eligible to vote very soon.

Great point! It will be interesting to see how this current political climate will influence our budding adults choices and what they consider important.
 
Like any poker game, when played among friends it is an opportunity for a skillful player to win some money. But then it would be coming from friends. Played in a casino with strangers, the pot/table gets drained regularly by fees and cuts, so on average everyone is slowly losing (or paying for amusement). However, if a player is _really_ good, good enough to get entry to a sponsored tournament or TV series, it can be a career.
My finite math teacher in college taught us permutations and combinations using poker as the structure. Basically how to determine the odds of a card or series of cards coming up given certain criteria. Loved that class.

I recently watched a video on how to play craps in Vegas casinos (essentially how to lose your money the slowest) where I learned about true odds bets. Now I have spent an hour or more each day playing on a free online craps website just to see how that works.


Maybe I shouldn't say this in public, but I am ahead of the game in Vegas just because I didn't know how the house rules for roulette so I made a single bet just trying to lose my $20 quickly so I could get back on the road to Utah, I hit my bet (27) and a couple of other big payoffs within a few minutes and left with over $600 to the good.

There is also a penny-ante maneuver at which I have succeeded in reservation casinos. A couple of times when I just wanted to use a clean rest room somewhere out on the road, I signed up for the frequent-player club on my way in. They gave me a small "free slots" account of $10 or so. You can't just cash it in, but after a few minutes on a video poker machine, keeping track in my head of how much I have wagered, you cna cashout the winning deals. I have been able to walk out with a couple of bucks after performing the necessary functions.
