Visiting a Poker table @ The ballpark

TheGeneral+ · May 20, 2003

If you were visiting a football, basketball, or baseball game, would you be tempted to partake in a casino game while at the park if the park accomidated such a thing? Maybe your team was losing miserably early in the game and there was a casino offered in the Park. Nothing like a Texas Hold-em game to ease the misery. Unless your drunk and drop a dime

NOt sure General, that could backfire badly. Sometimes people that go to games, they wager on it, and let's say they have lost their wager, or its in jeapordy of losing.......they then would possibly be tempted to get try and get their losses back in that "Park" or "stadium" casino........Of course, it could be just the opposite, and work out just fine if they were to win.

It Depends, do I have the over?

Slim, are you talking about if they put a bet on a game they attended?

-Slim- · May 20, 2003

no no, just overall,its not a good idea...next thing you know, churches are gonna offer slot machines

Oh, ok , I just thought when you mentioned the gamblers anonymous thing you meant anyone that has placed a wager on a game they were attending had problems. But your right, it would be a bad experience for many. Only thing is, I cant believe it hasnt happened yet.

people would cry bloody murder about 'the children'.

I think some hefty market research would be involved to see if the increased revenue brought in by gambling would offset the damage done by the fundamentalist crowd who would start demonizing pro sports in the media.

General, my cousins/family have already done this idea!

Ever time we go somewhere together, wheather it be a NFL game, bar, birthday party or even a BBQ, we (degenerate gamblers) always find a way to fire up a poker game, and the sad part is, 95% of the time someone usaully has the cards on hand!
