Some people don't understand that what seems amusing as a statement, usually spoken to oneself does not communicate any humour at all when written down. But thank you for explaining to me that it was Sarcasm and an attempt at humour. I am ROFL 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny1990 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 (edited) This does proof to me that there is a substantial market for legalized casinos. Edited January 9, 2021 by Destiny1990 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nout Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 (edited) One can never eliminate gambling. It is futile and corrupt. In Kuwait, where casinos are banned wealthy Kuwaitis used to visit the docks where the oysters were being landed, buy large quantities and bet which ones would have a pearl or not. People can bet on where a fly is going to land in a room or which raindrop will roll down a window first. The criminalization of gambling is, like the war on drugs a futile, corrupting waste of time. The issue in the story above is the potential spread of covid which could have been prevented by establishing on line gambling platforms.

Gambling has a rich and lustrous history. Horse racing being just one example. You insult both the mentally ill and the 99% of untroubled gamblers with your remark. Gambling is part of our history and culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Swift Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 6 hours ago, Bangyai said: Gambling really is a disease for Chinese it seems. They just can't get enough of it. I had a hot Chinese girlfriend back in England but if we went into London for a night on the town she just could not pass an amusement arcade and spend 30 - 40 minutes in there on the penny arcade. To drag her away from a pile of pennies perched on the edge was a herculean task. She had pumped so many pennies into it that she seriously thought it owed her. ' I am just about to win ' was her constant excuse. Compulsive gambling is a worldwide disease, equally serious everywhere. Lives are ruined by it. How many of your brit friends compulsively buy lottery tickets or bet on sports games? And how many "hot" gambling Chinese girlfriends have you had? Just the one? It's just that since this IS Southeast Asia, you WILL see more Asians doing it. And since Thailand is so eager to have Chinese people spend their money here, Chinese people see the red carpet rolled out for them, and here they are. Go to any casino in the world and count up the ethnicities you see. So, curb your bigotry please. It's not pretty. And perhaps you should adjust your criteria regarding your choice of girlfriends simply because they are "hot". Show some respect. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact is his g/f at the time was Chinese, nothing racist there, and from my limited experience of legal casinos the highest racil mix from the few times I have been in a casino many more SE Asian appearing people in the ethnic mix, and the biggest casinos in Ustralia preCovid had special flights fro many major chinese cities as well as the special high roller flights and packages, minimum buyin 30,000 US dollars , paid upfront and credit checks on all appllicants.

Bridge players will never get prosecuted. There is a bridge room in the RBSC and many influential people playing there.
