How in God's name do you bankrupt a casino?

[–] podperson@lemm.ee 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well you see, a casino is an extremely complex, mult-layered business in which customers enter said business with the expectation and intent of exchanging money for entertainment, and the casino itself is guaranteed through simple probabilities and statistics to have an advantage over the customer on all of the games presented, and.... oh wait. Yep, he must really suck at business.

A casino is a business where people give you money expecting nothing in return.

There are a lot of ruffles and flourishes to disguise that fact, but is the simple truth.

And Trump is so stupid he managed to fuck it up. Twice.
