If I'm ever in Melbourne we'll go and paint the town tangerine... mmmm, pool
tables, just right for, um, playing pool?

Card counters normally do OK. In fact, probably too well, having to resort to
subterfuge and disguise to foil the security guys to even get close to a table
(casinos swap photos and profiles of card counters. You aren't allowed to win -
that would go against the casino's principles!)

Yeah. My view is that gambling on pokies/casinos/lotteries/scratchies is that it's
all just voluntary taxation :-)
