Re: Things in life that are -EV
Whatever one might think about religion - any religion - never has any other institution had anywhere near the level of success at socialization as the church.
Take for example the service clubs - Rotary, Lions, Kiwanis, Shriners, etc. - normally they are segregated by sex with almost no regular family interaction.
Schools - kids become friends and sweethearts, but very little in the way of lifeskills are learned and practiced as they are informally in a church. Almost no family interaction.
Hobby groups - fun for the individual, seldom the family. Often they even deprive a family from time together (as in a dad playing golf with his buddies on the same day his kid is playing in a Little League game).
Internet message boards - need I say more?
Meanwhile, the church provides assistance to the poor and needy where government beauracracy breaks down.
Many, many opportunities abound for family interaction - pot luck dinners, actual church services, Halloween, Christmas, and other special occasions.
Husband-wife bonds and inter-family bonds can be strengthened through Sunday schools. (This benefit I have personally received and witnessed many times over).
Kids gain lifeskills and maturity through working with other kids and adults in various goal-oriented drives mounted with a community purpose - such as helping Katrina victims and more recently here in Texas - fire victims who have lost everything.
I could go on, but obviously PO69 and others have had such negative church experiences leading them to post on this subject that I rather suspect it's time to have them let off their steam in the form of all the negatives they perceive from their church experiences.

Pretty much anything with material and social status attached to it.
Shirts with polo ponies on them, Harley Davidsons, Rolex watches, and on and on. Lots of -EV shopping opportunities on the Strip.
And, oh yeah, the Las Vegas monorail.

stu feiner/brandon lang/jack price/jonathon stone ... (__________) fill in the blank with about a thousand cappers names
drinking booze/beer at a bar
eating out. (really $45 for a steak)

Great thread, Kinger.
I love when gamblers express their views on risk/reward situations in everyday life.

1. Women that are not "happy", never marry one that is not a "happy" type, or you lose for life.
2. Drinking outside the home, nothing good happens when you do this.
3. Smoking, too many health problems and lost cash.
4. Worry, it is better to just let the Creator take care of the mess down here and relax and enjoy.
Cheers!
