You bet your JOW #1090

 

With the end of pandemic shutdowns people are going out once again.  Some of those people will inevitably go to Las Vegas – you can bet on it.  This may come as a surprise to those of you not living in Las Vegas, but there are more Catholic churches there than casinos.  Not surprisingly, some worshipers at Sunday services will give casino chips rather than cash when the basket is passed.  Since they get chips from many different casinos, the churches have devised a method to collect the offerings.  The churches send all their collected chips to a nearby Franciscan monastery for sorting and then the chips are taken to the casinos of origin and cashed in.  This is done by the chip monks.

Good luck to all you gamblers.

 

A gambling quote:

Someone once asked me why women don’t gamble as much as men do, and I gave the common-sensical reply that we don’t have as much money. That was a true but incomplete answer. In fact, women’s total instinct for gambling is satisfied by marriage.

~ Gloria Steinem

 

The Government’s position: Gambling is addictive, morally wrong, and predatory, so we are outlawing it.

In unrelated news the Powerball jackpot is $126 Million Dollars! Can't win if you don't play!

My friend’s gambling is getting out of hand.

He's just bet his newborn son in our game of poker.
I thought, "I might have to raise him."

Gambling is like drugs

The dealer always wins

Sign you might have a poker addiction: your children are named Check and Raise.

Your best chance to get a Royal Flush in a casino is in the bathroom.

Marriage is like a deck of cards. All you need at first is two hearts and a diamond. But in the end, you wish you had a club and spade.

When I went to a casino, I saw the most ridiculous sign....

"If you have a gambling problem, call 1-800-GAMBLER."
I thought about it for a moment and dialed the number.

When they answered I said, "I have an ace and a six. The dealer has a seven. What do I do?"

A compulsive gambler goes to the butcher - "I bet you $500 you can't get the meat down from the top shelf without a ladder"
The butcher says "I can't take that bet, the steaks are too high"

My wife thinks I care more about gambling than our kids.

That isn't true at all. I am going to stay in this casino until I win our son's tuition back to prove it.

An American won 2000 pounds gambling in Britain.

As he receives his winnings, all he could say was: “That’s a ton of money”

****

Dieting hasn’t worked out for me, so I’m gambling in the UK.

Great way to lose a few pounds.

My wife got mad because I lost $3,420 gambling. Jesus, woman! It's not even YOUR money...

Anymore.

Husband Comes Home After Gambling

 “Where the fuck have you been?” screamed his wife.

 “I’ve been playing poker with some blokes.”

“Playing poker with some blokes?” she repeated. “Well, you can pack your bags and go!”

“So can you,” he said. “This isn’t our house anymore.”

Bettor: My god, I had a terrible day today. I lost 15 out of 15 in college football, I lost 8 out of 8 in baseball and I lost 6 out of 6 in soccer. I don’t know what I am going to do.
Friend: Well there’s hockey games starting soon.
Bettor: I don’t know anything about hockey.

It's called Pokermon.

My friend came back from Las Vegas once. He told me its easy to win big. He went to town in a $20,000 Nissan, left in a $360,000 Porsche.
I thought "nice, I'm going to get in on that." So I left for Vegas in my $30,000 Toyota. Came back in a $800,000 vehicle.
A Greyhound bus.

One night, a priest, a preacher, and a rabbi are having a game of poker when the cops suddenly bust down their door and arrest them all on the spot. They are immediately taken before a judge who tells them "Look, it's late and I don't want to send three holy men to jail, so if you can give me a good reason as to why you weren't gambling, I'll let you go".
The priest is the first to step forward and tells the judge "We weren't gambling because no money had changed hands yet".

The judge decides that this is a good enough answer and lets the man go.

The preacher goes next and says "We weren't because we hadn't even dealt the cards yet". Again the judge lets him go.
With just the rabbi left, the judge says "And finally for you. Can you give me a good reason why you weren't gambling"?

The rabbi gestures around the courtroom, empty except for the two of them and asks "Gambling? With who"?

 

Which reminds me of my final off-topic joke

A priest, a minister and a rabbi are discussing when life begins. The priests says, “It begins at conception”. The minister says, “Life begins at 24 weeks gestation”. The rabbi says, “You are both wrong, Life begins when the kids are accepted into medical school
