What I said: > ... advertise in such a way that suggests will walk out with a lot of money What you said: > ... advertise that you will walk out with a lot of money either. Only that you might. No one said casinos advertise that you will for sure walk out with a lot of money; my point was that they imply that you will walk out with a lot of money. The distinction seems obvious to me. > So you're changing the point from "they advertise in a misleading way" to "people can become addicted to it"? That is a different argument so I want to be clear if we're moving on from the original point. The point was never that casino advertisements are misleading, but other advertisements are honest; the point was that casino advertisements are misleading in ways that are ultimately life-ruining. For similar reasons, we hold cigarette and alcohol companies accountable for the content of their advertisements.

>No one said casinos advertise that you will for sure walk out with a lot of money I don't see the difference between what I said you said and what you said. You were obviously saying they implied that someone will definitely walk out with money. That's what I said you said.

  There's a difference between a promise and an implied promise. You were speaking about the former and I was speaking about the latter. I don't know how better to explain this.
