<br/><br/> "A record 73 million Americans, up nearly 20 million from just five years ago, will patronize one of the nation's more than 1,200 casinos, card rooms, or bingo parlors this year [2005]. The average gambler visits a casino nearly six times a year--almost twice as often as he did a decade ago. At least 6 million Americans will click a bet on one of 2,300 online gaming sites. Altogether, gamblers will lose more than $80 billion on everything from the Triple Crown to the flop of a card this year." (U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT) The article reveals "that behind all that glitz is an army of behavioral scientists, technowizards, and mathematicians with one goal: to finesse ever more money out of your wallet, whether in front of the slot machine, at the blackjack table, in the celebrity chef restaurant, or at the concert hall."
