i hate gambling

[wilk1149]

Apparently that makes me a bad person. Oh well, obviously hating gambling is similar to being a pedophile. Maybe I should be publicily executed for being such a vile and wicked person

S J I'm sure that if you saved that money you will accumulate the desired funds

two dollars a week?, let me think about this, if the winning ticket was only one million in winnings, i'd be saving two dollars a week for 500,000 weeks, how many weeks are left in my lifetime i wonder. I may never win, But I'm buying hope, hope that i might, many times i'll hold onto the tickets and not even check them for weeks, just to keep hope alive.

If i do win, i'm gonna travel, maybe even to Australia. Mostly road trips around the states trying to decide where i want to buy or build a house and live. So it will be much more than a fun vacation, more like research. I could even document it on video and do a youtube segment.

My no 4 son was accepted as a trainee croupier for  the Burswood Casino in Perth while it was still being built . Towards the end of the  training period - to accustom the trainees to dealing with the public - they held a "family night" in a local hotel. It was set up like a real casino and as we went in we were all given a wad of monopoly money.

I tried a few games and finally settled at the roulette table. I was on a roll - I devised a very clever system which involved spreading the risk over odds evens, blacks and reds and was raking in the dosh. I was having the time of my life. The only calculation I hadn't made was that on every roulette wheel there is a number ZERO. A single spin of the wheel and suddenly I was wiped out.  riches to rags and I was so angry and frustrated I almost burst into tears.

My reaction really shocked me. I figured if I could get that worked up over monopoly money i'd be a fool ever to play with real cash - and I never have,

There you go, lol.   I can easily imagine how casino gambling can get into one's blood and the adrenaline rushes which is why I'd never try it either.   Once in a blue moon I'll play the pokies at our local pub where I go with friends for a meal, but I allow myself

$10 only. and just do it for fun.

if that was in a real life, they would have thrown you out; they do not like people who keep winning  🙂

I have no interest in gambling either.

Many years ago I saw an interview with legendary singer Del Shannon. At the time,his son was employed at a casino in Atlantic City.While on duty on the graveyard shift,he could hear jackpots going off on the slot machines.Only trouble was the place was nearly empty.The casino was playing that sound to give the impression there were winners everywhere.
