"They had a duty of care to me"

.22 ammunition is currently about $.02 to $.03 per round. Getting rid of the body would add to the cost, but wouldn't be that expensive. All in all, it wouldn't cost that much to take care of her.

/Too bad the mob doesn't run the Casinos anymore.

this is such b.s. there are "when the fun stops" pamphlets all over the place. that's the limit of the casino's liability. it's the same as fatties filing law suits at fast food places. when does the personal responsibility come into play?

I'm as big of proponent of personal responsibility as anyone. But, these people are "sick" and the casinos damn well know who they are. Let someone win a million dollars at the blackjack table and see how fast the casino bars them.

No way she wins the suit but maybe casinos will take a better look at who is losing millions of dollars. On the "whales" and other "fish" casinos do credit checks and back ground check to protect themselves when they extend them lines of credit. Just try and help these people out a little. It the same person comes into your bar and drinks them self into a stupor every night for months straight at some point you might say "hey dude, I can't stop you from drinking but you're gonna have to do it somewhere else".

/Or maybe not. Screw her.

fark that biatch.

Screw her, but I'm not about to feel sympathy for casinos. They know when they're exploiting people with an addiction. Spending the resources to get this thing bounced on summary judgment seems like a justifiable cost for that privilege.

If you knew nothing else about this biatch, the fact that she considered swerving into oncoming traffic as a method of suicide shows what a selfish coont she is. Hopefully, a nice painful stroke or a bout of ovarian cancer is waiting for her soon.

Not very. Odds are the Casino will win a big chunk of it back.

"She said she even considered swerving into oncoming traffic to kill herself."

What a self-centered sack of shiat.

She'll never get one cent from Trump and his lawyers.

I don't know how to feel on this. On one hand, yeah, personal responsibility is very farking important.

On the other, when someone wins big at a casino, they will squirm and do just about anything to get out of paying up. So hey, fark them, too.

fark her.

Her practice had 400 clients and earned her $500,000 a year. She appeared on TV and radio to discuss legal issues, wrote a guidebook for women dealing with deadbeat dads in the court system, titled "The Gangsta Girls' Guide To Child Support,"

I almost felt a tidbit of pity for her till I saw that... Any lawyer who writes a book for "gangsta girls" should be disbarred and banned from normal society.

That's what I came here to say. If you're going to off yourself, at least have the decency to only take yourself out.

Kral: "She said she even considered swerving into oncoming traffic to kill herself."

I've heard that one before...the punchline is that 'its a good start'!

Understands.

And beaten with a hose.

She forgot the dopamine agonists!
She should have got a prescription for one of them when she realized it was getting out of control. Then she could have sued all the drug companies and doctors also.
Dumb!

I was going feel sorry for her, but then I thought about it for about 2/5 of a second, and, uh.....nope. Screw the nappy headed hoe.

Time to outlaw lawyers from casinos. Sorry, lawyers, it had to be done.

That's true. My poorly made point was that anyone winning consistently at the blackjack table is automatically suspected of cheating as no one wins over time. So the casinos are quick to protect themselves by barring winners. Maybe they could try and help out a person who has already lost a large sum of money to them.

You could find someone to drag her into the desert for $5.


/everybody throw down a buck

And if they hadn't let her keep gambling, she'd be suing for discrimination instead.

If you do choose to hit it, an opening line like, "Five bucks says you'll sleep with me," would be more successful with this one.

I'm in.

Can't you put yourself on a list of people with gambling addictions so casinos bar you from playing, and if they do let you play you can bring a lawsuit against the casino?

I work at a casino... etc.

This woman just said that gambling is "worse than crack, because gambling addiction is mental." Nobody is going to take her to task for that?

You guys are slipping.

This stuff is sad. The last time I went to play poker in a casino, there was this guy just falling asleep at the table. Some dealers woke him up, others just let him sleep. He had apparently been there over 36 hours. Occasionally the pit boss or whatever would come over and tell him to wake up... but there was no urge to make him leave.

The woman in this article is a classic example of just about every kind of stupid thinking rolled up into one. "She said she even considered swerving into oncoming traffic to kill herself" being about the dumbest way to try to kill yourself... remember that model who killed like 3 innocent people this way, and walked away without a scratch on herself?

GBmanNC: Can't you put yourself on a list of people with gambling addictions so casinos bar you from playing, and if they do let you play you can bring a lawsuit against the casino?

No. They just can not solicit you. They have no duty to keep you from playing. But no sending limos to pick you up and free rooms and such.

I could see this happening to half of the women in my law school class. Egos through the roof, indignation off the charts, and will argue anything, no matter how ludicrous, just to save face or win for their side. The men, by contrast, tend to have more of a passive, festering greed in them that will rot them from the inside out over the course of several divorces, as they sit in their corporate offices looking out over their cities with a subtle smirk of contempt not yet wiped from their pale, bloated faces.

YOU.
DID.
IT.
WRONG.

Yeah, but is she hot?!

Actually I think in Indiana you can have yourself banned from being allowed in casinos, if you want.

It sounds pretty weak though... "Once enrolled, it is the responsibility of the VEP participant to stay away from gaming areas of the casinos."

I have a relative who took out a reverse mortgage on his paid-off house. He gambled so much he now has $147K balance due.

Indian casinos. Evening the score since the Reagan years. Thanks Ronnie.

Hey, is there a blood test for that? How is the Casino know if you are rich enough to lose all that or you are a fool. To run with your false analogy of the drunk, how is the bartender who serves hundreds a night supposed to track the drinking of one person. There is only on person at fault in this, the gambler.

Sounds like a great plan.

I hope she loses everything, gets disbarred, and dies young.

/And I hope someone pisses in her cheerios too.

After reading the article they're all stupid. Invite her back and nuke it from orbit.

that's what they want you to think

FTFA: She was an ambitious lawyer and TV commentator who starting going to Atlantic City casinos to relax, and soon was getting high-roller treatment that included limousines whisking her to the resort.

Arelia Margarita Taveras says she was even allowed to bring her dog, Sasha, to the blackjack tables, sitting in her purse.

This is like accepting free samples from your local dealer. It's her own fault for going to the casinos in the first place.

The casino can tell you to the cent how much a "tracked" player has won or lost. They know who can afford it and who can't. They have people who's only job is to know everything there is to know about people who play at this level.

My bar analogy was more of a corner bar, the kind "where everybody knows you're a falling down drunk".

I damn sure am not saying the chick should get a cent back. Just that casinos might take a little more interest in caring for their regular players who are gambling themselves into bankruptcy.

FTFY

1. A 'gambling addiction', like alcoholism, is not a disease. Stop the BS already. It's psychological conditioning and poor self-control, nothing more.
2. Personal responsibility has been dead for a long time.
3. There's no way in hell she's going to win the lawsuit.
4. I love how this guy's handle links to his comment:

So, which one will you be?

How could someone so stupid pass the bar exam?

I know lawyers are scum, but they are usually smart.

And here I thought lawyers had it made.
