In the United States a sportsbook or a race and sports book (sometimes abbreviated as book) is a place where a gambler can wager on various sports competitions, including golf, football, basketball, baseball, hockey, soccer, horse racing, boxing, and mixed martial arts. The method of betting varies with the sport and the type of game. In the US, the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 allows only Nevada, Oregon, Montana, and Delaware to legally wager on sports.

Is sports betting legal in Oregon?
Oregonians are technically allowed to bet on sports, but only through legally licensed businesses. Being that there are none, you cannot currently do so legally. In most states, the Internet is a place where you can legally wager on sports, but this is not the case in Oregon. They have banned sports gambling from being an option, and you are therefore relegated to not betting at all or doing so illegally. We do not condone breaking the law.

Blackjack to make a bit of bank.

Craps if I just want to have fun.

Poker if I have 7 hours to make some money.

Basically, craps, because I won't care if I lose the money it takes to have that fun.

That's not true. There are quite a few off-track sites to bet the horses, including Portland Meadows, where you can still bet via satellite.

If it were that easy, you'd already be retired.

I agree with ya'lls sentiments on craps. I usually do that, blackjack, roulette, and if things aren't going well, I'll put the rest of my money into video poker and the bar. It's a scam, but at least it's a scam where don't have to wait for the waitress for a free drink. I'll spend my last five bucks in video poker and just pound them down.

I don't gamble that often. Losing $500 on a weekend in Vegas pisses me off more than paying ToB $200 on an election bet.

"Let it Ride" is my favorite.
your hand is also the dealers hand. Pair of 10's or better is 1-1 ratio payout minimum. So if you get a pair of 10's or better on your first 2 cards as you got delt. That's $15 profit right there as the minimum ani is $5 a spot. (3 spots).
And even if your third card (which the dealer delt) matches one of your first two first cards that you received (delt) is still a $10 profit for you as long as its a pair of 10's or better.
I have received $80+ on two pairs or better because I think that is 3-1 pay out. Its been awhile...
Straights or same suit only adds more to your payout.
Make sure there is at least 3 people at the table for Let it Ride. A full table of 5+ people will give you less chances to win on good pots.

I hear ya. 'Cept with me, it's more like losing $20 at Chinook Winds is worse that the $50 I'll be ponying-up to Sly.

I rarely gamble. I lived in Vegas for a year and that's what happens.
