Airing of grievances shall begin.

How can anyone not understand that what matters is not how much you win on a payout but it is the net of what you have after the trial? Really! Another hour of my life wasted.

Can't they put a SBUX near every courthouse? I need a field office!

That's my wife with slots. She's deliriously
happy if she wins $300 and completely
forgets she's down $3000 for the year.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

But this was worse. Woman is new to the game. OK, that's why we teach. At first just making the "outside" bets getting 1:1. Then she learns to play corners. Lays 6 corners, wins 1. Thinks she "won" 8 units.

It is like in "1984" when they cut the chocolate ration then raised it by more a short time later. And the sheep did not see the net raise, just the gross.
