This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The point of a casino is for the house to get more from player losses, on average, than players get from the casino via wins. Card counting cuts into profits. At small scale it doesn't really matter too much, and that's why they discourage it, to make sure it stays small scale.

I see, it's that there's a direct conflict of interest, whereas a grocery store doesn't exactly profit from you making a non-optimal choice of yogurt brand.
