Blech that was so totally stupid. I say all of their money because it was cash that I had won during the preceding weeks. I took my older purse which had a lot of cash in it. I just kept grabbing 20’s and feeding the machines. It wasn’t until I had spent the vast majority […]

I don’t know what some people are thinking. I know the economy is in bad shape so people are panicking and putting money wherever they think they can make a buck.
One of my coworkers and her friend invested in a foreign currency, the Iraqi Dinar. The premise is that after the rebuilding effort, the currency […]

When I went to West Virginia on Sunday, I did win at the casino. I took $40 and I came home with $100 so I won $60. I actually took more money than I wanted to. I generally only take $20-25 with me but I needed gas and so I grabbed a few extra dollars. […]

Yesterday was pretty nice and I didn’t want to be stuck in the house all day so I decided to drive to West Virginia to the casino. I only took $40 and I left all of my debit cards at home. That way when I was done with my initial stake it would be time […]

I wanted to take a short trip lasting only a few days. I thought I could go on one of those casino junket type of trips. They’re generally cheaper than regular travel because you agree to gamble, which I do anyway. However when I called, I was told that they don’t offer single supplement trips. […]

I have it listed under gambling because it’s one of those “casino junket” type of trips. You go and gamble and they basically front you a lot of expenses. A weekend trip would cost me less than $400 and I desperately need a vacation right now. The only downside is that since I don’t plan […]

I just got not 1 but 2 casino offers in the mail. They’re for 2 separate casinos and they’re offering me money to play. The rational side of my brain is telling me to stay at home and save my money. The other side is screaming “go for it” and has me tweaking my fun […]

I’m sure we all have bad habits and I’m no exception. My habit is gambling. It doesn’t matter if it’s slot machines, the lottery or football pools. I’m usually not that bad but last weekend I went overboard and lost more money than I intended to. Now I have to tighten my belt for the […]

But you would think I had lost thousands. It’s funny because I’ve gone to the casino and lost big amounts of money and wasn’t as upset as I was last night when I lost $20 bucks. Maybe it’s because I’m starting to visualize myself going through the home buying process and actually buying my own […]

But I don’t want to go out. I’m already home from work, I’m comfortable and cool in my apartment. I don’t feel like getting dressed and going back out. But now I have another option. There’s always online gambling right at home. I can play in my pajamas or while I’m still wearing my work clothes. […]

Surprise surprise right?!?! It was my first trip to this casino. I visited Seneca Casino in upstate New York. I mean nobody really expects to win all the time. Well some professional gamblers do but I don’t. It was a really fun experience anyway. There was almost 50 people on our bus. We played games […]

Well it’s new for me anyway. It’s Seneca Indian Casino in upstate New York. I’ve never been there but my friend says is fabulous. She asks me to go every time her sister sponsors a bus trip. The last time I told her I would go and it’s already here. We leave Saturday morning at […]
