and yes, this friend had a major gambling problem where they would fly him back to his home in LA to allow him to get to his safe and get more cash to play.
Now, if it's not right for a casino, many many people on welfare seem to play Lotto and scratchers all the time...

Whales are a tad diffrent Cyn, and I would expect that you would know that. Whales are whales because they are very well known, because of the amount of money they spend, the way the casinos usually went after them, and if he is banned for cheating or not paying his debts, that would explain why you are approached. I doubt he is a self banning, and by you calling himn a whale he is not a chump change player as those I described or the welfare recipients would be.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
