making money at the casino isn't sinfula t all. the problem is making money. which is why i dun go casinoOriginally posted by Fatum:I can tell you I have never lost money in a casino before .... but making money from casinos feels pretty sinful to me ... bad karma some how ...
but lots of people won't care ... go up to genting and you'll see lots of singaporeans gambling away ..... 50 ringgit a hand minimium ? no problem ! ....
first time I went to the casino at genting I was so afraid of loosing my hard earned money I chipped only 20 ringgit and put down a 5 ringgit chip at a table ... the croupier and everyone else at the table turned at looked at me like I was some retard .... -
I was told money from gambling's "Heng4 chai2" .... heng money .... if you don't get rid of it quickly, bad luck will follow ....Originally posted by hisoka:making money at the casino isn't sinfula t all. the problem is making money. which is why i dun go casino
that's why whenever my parents strike 4D they'll give family and relatives a big chinese dinner treat and spend the money up ... -
yes ... OMG is right ... I think I mentioned something about a friend of mine, a poly grad, who got himself into thick shit from illegal gambling also ......Originally posted by av98m:OMG
it got so bad he actually went to a certain country x and nearly became a courier of "white powders" to clear his debt (what, you think those loan shark farkers only got one racket going on ? ) .... luckily ... his sanity prevailed ......
now my beef is ...
1. why the hell does illegal gambling rackets still exist ?
2. why the hell loan sharks still exist ? ...
singapore like to project itself as squeaky clean .... but we all know her dirty, ugly underbelly ....

i mean eating up is still going to be absorbed into your body so in effect you will still have possession of the things you bought with the money right?
loan sharks are sanctioned by government
banks.
illegal gambling? if you ask me if they make a more open and accessible casino it will be greatly reduced -
I'm not sure if that counts as heng money or not ...Originally posted by hisoka:hmmz so win alot of buy stock, bonds, houses, etc? -
Because banks generally do not lend money to poor desperate peopleOriginally posted by Fatum:2. why the hell loan sharks still exist ? ...

However I see Singpost is trying to compete by offering unsecured loans -
