Quote:The world of gambling is a mystery to me. I don't like willfully giving money away that I earned. If I put 50¢ in a machine and it gives me back 75¢, or a soda, I consider myself ahead and quit. Although, I do like to jump up and down and yell "I won again!" whenever I withdraw money from an ATM and there's a line of people behind me.

I'm not a heavy gambler either but I will partake in some games if I'm in Vegas or Tahoe. No slots for me though, I can't imagine a more boring time than playing slots.


That being said, the only time I've ever won any significant amount of money, I was absolutely hammered and gambling with someone else's money haha. Usually, my goal is to lose a certain amount over X amount of hours. I can rationalize that by the amount of free drinks I consume. I figure it's a fair enough trade for the drinks and the entertainment value.
