wait whaaat? that makes no sense!

what do you mean by number 1 and 5???? care to elaborate??
Not my post but what the hell is confusing in those statements??

You see people dropping $200 a day into the slots at casino's or lose their ass playing blackjack. Go back there 2 days later and they are at it again. Thats point #1.

Point #5. Even an idiot player can get pocket Aces and go AI and win a big pot. Makes them feel great.
