Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 4050341, member: 1131"] The question is: would you have done your gambling at Mohegan Sun if there were no WNBA games there for you to attend? I don't know about you personally, but I will bet that some number of people are drawn to that particular casino because of the presence of a good basketball team, and would go to Foxwoods or Atlantic City if the CT Sun weren't there. If that is the case, then your losses at the tables should be counted as basketball team revenue. If Mohegan Sun management has a way to measure that, then they are probably already counting it, and it helps to make the basketball team's minor operating losses easier to justify as a marketing expense. I'm sure there are a lot of people who would never set foot in the casino if it weren't for the basketball games drawing them there, and some number of them will do exactly what you do and put money in the casino's bank accounts in that way.
