Been to Vegas, well, I dunno, lost count, maybe 20 times, and also have been to Atlantic City, Biloxi, Tunica, New Orleans, and a whole bunch of other places in between.The smartest gamblers I ever met were some college kids who wanted to "try" Vegas. They'd sit at a nickel slot machine and drop in a coin when the cocktail waitress came by and order a free drink.Sports betting is actually a lucrative business, but there are maybe only a couple thousand people (if that) in the entire country who actually know what they're doing and make a steady income from it.However, to make it in sports betting, it requires an effort equal to just about any other day job and therefore it's like having a job.I can't say anything to make things better for the friend but it's like drinking and driving and killing someone. You keep saying "don't do that" but people do it anyway.I'v made three "serious" sports bets in my life. Won two, lost one. All three were $5 bets. Ain't no such thing as easy money. Look at it this way; what if the friend had won? How much would he have lost in the long run before he realized he didn't know what he was doing?OK... I guess that's enough preaching from me.</blockquote>
