Of cse casinos bring some happiness and fun to some people...but casinos also cause much misery and affect many innocent lives. Any responsible govt wld really hesitate to wish such things on their citizens

Beg to differ.

Even bishops, cardinals and priests in the Philippines did not frown on people who wanted to get rich buying lottery. Who are you? God?

Just as we adults think the gahment should give Sporean more leeway to manage their own lives, here you are suggesting that the gahment restict even more.

If that is the case, gahment should increase your CPF contribution even more, and let you withdraw your money at the age of 80.

Just make some money at the casino - not much - and thinking of going again. There are losers, and there are winners. It's their money - if they want to gamble why you bother?

I am not bothered if you choose to gamble. It's your choice.

I am just sharing my thoughts at this coffee shop. Does it bother you?

It appears that if you can't find a body to blame, always blame it on PAP.

KNN, if you lose money blame it on the PAP. If you win money, also blame it on PAP for not winning more. Ugly face of yours also blame it on PAP.

I look at it from the micro and macro perspectives.

At the micro level, I ask friends and loved ones to be aware of the ills and dangers of gambling addiction. Of cse, it is up to them to decide whether they choose to get addicted

At the macro level, as a Singaporean I hv every right to question the pap for legalising casinos as they will bring hardship, social problems and social ills to Sg and Singaporeans. Dont give me the crap that the govt wants to give decision making to Singaporeans. The pap has banned Palyboy which does less harm. The reason the pap contradicts itself here is that Playboy doesnt bring in revenue to the pap whereas casinos do. If the pap wants to allow singaporeans to make their own choices, why doesnt the pap return to the people their CPF monies at 55yrs? The pap is morally bankrupt.

The pap cant have the cake and eat it. Discerning Singaporeans can see the pap's hypocrisy, except running dogs who blindly defend the pap

Everyone is free to make her own choice.

Phillipines Bishop, Cardinals and Priests are not standard marker.

One need not compare with anyone. Just be careful abt one's own choice

Yes, if the pap says it wants to give Singaporeans more leeway, why ban playboy, why retain ppl's CPF even when they hv reach the ripe age of 55? The pap cant go on contradicting itself.

It's nice that you have discipline..not everyone knows the need to hv good discipline. Just look at the aunties and uncles at the jackpot machines and roullette tables and you see the addiction

Jackpot and roullette sure mati. Even if win one day, you will lose all back to the casinos. Baccarrat is the only game to give you a fair deal.

Yes, discipline is very important. Hopefully everyone who wishes to gamble has the discipline to do it responsibly...Just have some fun but dont get addicted.

Funnily, I think more Chinese have a propensity for gambling.

I hv been to western country casinos and sense that the caucasians are less intense and keen on gambling than Chinese.

Westerners gamble $10, $20 kpkb like they betted their lives.

I have a friend who runs a shop in Orchard. There was once he went onboard a casino cruise and won US$20,000+ on baccarat. Next time he went, he lost US$50,000+. He went yet again. Lost another US$50,000+. He stopped going. His shop had to run on overdraft for the next year. If he went and lost another US$50,000+, there'd not even be any overdraft left.

By the way, I'm not referring to Locke, that was another friend.

I heard from someone credible that a goup of 8-10 chaps went to RWS when newly opened. They walked off with 40-50mil! Weeks later, they returned physically as well as money won, with almost 100% interests. I do not suspect the story to be made up coz one of those alleged to be present is a billionaire. Richer than Peter Lim.

My very regular visits to RWS tells many sad stories. I have yet to witness a small time gambler increasg his bets significantly. I am fully aware of people who bet in excess of !k per bet now betting 10% their earlier bets. At least they are still around. Some just MIAed. THose from VIP rooms now bet downstairs at Orchid Room. Orchid Rm chaps now bo pio pai. They play face up baccarrat.

Your friend's story is very typical for gamblers. They don't believe their luck can be so bad. So, they galvanise financial resources to mount another challenge after suffering some blue black. More such challenges will end up with broken bones. You can only defeat the casino by winning a small percentage of their capital and leaving asap when done. Go back again the next day, nest day and next day. Win small, leave.

When come to casino gambling, the worst lot is the Vietnamese. They can gamble every single cent they had, stay inside casino for many days and lastly end their lifes if they lost everything :biggrin:

This is very common. Most high-rollers been reduced into poor men. Some gamblers is smart to realise that been relegated from VIP rooms to common areas is time for them to quit or just play for entertainment. Entering casinos on a daily basis is like committing suicide and that make "winning" become temporary.

I never trust luck and I believe in hard work toward success and I hope nobody try to making a living out gambling professionally in casinos.

One scenario for those aspire to become a professional:

Monday to Thursday - Each day nett winning $300 x 4 = total nett winning $1,200 :biggrin:

Friday - Lost $2,000 so nett losses for the week is ($800) :(

How to make a living like that ?

An average income earner make $1,000 (before CPF) per work week :p without risking their own money.


Alternatively if you all already rich & well-off men. Then they is definitely no need to throw so much money into casino gambling tables. Spend your money lavish goods & services is much better than casino gambling :cool:
