Too each his own. I've done bird watching in the past. Not as entertaining as it was spending an evening with my wife playing VP. No laughter bird watching. Of course "losing" is not enjoyable. Losing sucks. Just like going to a ballgame and seeing your team lose. However if you view spending a budgeted amount for night's entertainment with the possibility of getting paid to have fun for spending money, it feels differently.Chicagoan wrote: ↑Sun Apr 19, 2020 12:40 pmI also go for entertainment..... the entertainment of watching my hard-earned dollars disappear down the sucking coin-in slot on the VP machines that seemingly can never be satisfied.
Wait ---- scratch the above paragraph. There is no entertainment value in losing. I go to the casino to try to win something. I don't always, but that is my only focus. If you want entertainment without the sucking noise of your money sliding down the tube, may I suggest bird-watching?
Back in the 90s I was vacationing at a resort on Hilton Head Island. Green fees at the golf course were $200. I suppose those people who paid it with no chance of getting reimbursed would have been better off bird watching for free. Besides which, hitting a golf ball close to an alligator is not that entertaining.
Perspective.
