and then there are others who blow whatever they win in the casinos
The players in Tulsa that went to the Casinos have lost their money, their cue sticks, their cars, their homes & their wives.... Butting heads with a casino didn't pay off. In Oklahoma the casinos only payback a small percentage. I've seen a lot of talent go away in my town...
Indian casinos nationwide are not well regulated. They can pretty much take whatever they want. You have a much better shot playing at Vegas casinos, who still have the edge but are regulated as far as their cut is concerned.
