Somebody is not winning at the Casinos. All the people I know that gamble claim they don't lose. Go figure.

They win just enough to keep them coming back. The house always wins more than you do. Since slot machines are computerized the are set to pay off a certain percentage of the time. And if by chance you hit the button on the right machine at the right time you win. It is all random no pattern at all,
