I’ve always got a rush out of gambling. I guess that’s why I like fur buying too. Walked into the casino in New Orleans and put $500 down just walked out with 5 figures. Black jack and roulette. Got em!!

The only gambling I do is trapping and sell my furs. That is all I would do on it.Just like not play the stock market, just the fur market.

Congrats. I don't win a lot but don't play with a lot either. Usually $20-$40. What kind of black jack? Went last too could not get a seat at a table (that's what I mainly play) and barely found an open slot. Lost $10

I have never gambled per say for money at a table or in a machine.
Give me a fish, I will eat for a day. Teach me to fish, I will eat for a lifetime

I always find the 100 year old chain smoker lady that sit's by me that makes my nose burn for 3 days!
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

I thank the good lord I never got anything out of gambling....a few other activities that could ruin your life as well.
Happy you made out, though.
I know a guy who just won 200K. Probably spent that winning it...But to each his own. He's a fur buyer, too.

I won too! I ate at Taco Bell yesterday and made it to the toilet in time this morning. I love it when a plan comes together!
I have nothing clever to put here.

I like playing poker. I used to play a ton when we could play online. Made good money. Averaged almost 35 dollars an hour profit over a 5 year span until they pulled the plug. That was in cash game and tournaments and not counting the live play I did fairly regular. I woke up one April morning to log on for my daily session of 20 tabling 180 seat tournaments and the FBI logo was staring me in the face saying the site had been seized. I eventually got the money I had in my account with the site back but that was the end of online poker for me.
I tried to transition into live play after the Feds and my State shutdown online play. I made it a few months before I got sick of the casino's and went and found something else to do. The live games are super easy compared to online and I was right at the 30 dollar an hour mark even though in live play you may see 30 hands an hour if the game moves along and online you will see 60 or 70 per table easy and I generally played 12 tables in cash games plus 8 tournaments all at the same time. When I was just playing tournaments I shot for 20 at a time. In tournaments the decisions are more automatic. I just got sick of the atmosphere.
I can't play the house with a good conscious. Slot machines are boring to me. There is no decision making involved. I will play blackjack from time to time if I go to the casino with someone else. That way we can socialize. Even in blackjack the house alway has an edge.
At the poker table the goal is to let your opponents gamble when you have the edge. A good poker player is "the house". You just rent your seat at the table from the casino.
"Good Lord, thank you for your endless bounty. Lord please give me the strength to gather what I need"

I don’t gamble much, every 3-4 years or so if we go somewhere on vacation I’ll take a few grand to throw around, I just got lucky last night and won a few big hands in blackjack and about 7-8 spins in a row on roulette with a max bet lol. Easy to bet big once your up on top a little bit, not so much when your down. You can never win big if you don’t bet it, sometimes when I’m feeling good I don’t look at the minimum bet but see what the max is. Now to go have a good time, I won’t step foot back in a casino prob for another 3-4 years but I sure do love that rush.
P.s Wife was real happy when she woke up to a purse full of money too

I always find the 100 year old chain smoker lady... I'd watch and do what she does. It sounds like she's got the odds beat!
