Also, on it being rigged, a bad idea, or -EV in general, I go with:
"Oh, you're probably right." Then ignore them. It's surprisingly effective.
I also like,
Me: "Hey, what did you do for fun last weekend?"
Them: "Random activity of my choosing."
Me: "So, how much did you lose?"
Then, if a person is too dense to not see the comparison between spending $10 playing in a MTT for a few hours and spending $10 seeing a movie, I just resort to imagining them choking on their own tongue or running into closed glass doors.
