21 guilty pleasures that are hurting your bank account

Gambling

In 2016, gamblers wagered nearly $39.9 billion in America’s commercial casinos, which the American Gaming Association said was an increase of 1.1 percent over the prior year. That doesn’t include the record $31.2 billion in gross gaming revenues at Native American casinos in 2016.

The game with the best odds of winning in the casino is craps. Stay away from the slot machines, though, which give casinos two-thirds of their profits, according to PBS. The best way to avoid wasting money on gambling is to steer clear of the casinos. But if you find yourself there and tempted to gamble, avoid the tricks casinos use to get you to spend more money.
