do u go to casinos?
« on: September 04, 2011, 03:36:56 pm »
i hear about my fiance's friend's parents going to the casino alot and spending thousands of dollars there. i really dont know why they choose to spend all that money at once but i guess if u have the money to blow u can do whatever with it. sometimes i wish wealthy people would help us out instead of wasting it the money in the casino. eh, i dont expect things handed to me but we're struggling like crazy and there is other people who isnt hurting with money. my fiances friend has helped us out without us asking and usually doesnt expect anything in return coz he knows we need the money alot more then he does.

I know of people who don't really have the money to spend but still go to casinos because they are addicted and are always thinking they will win "the next time."  The only people who win at casinos are casino owners.  I do not go to casinos, and I actually stopped buying lottery tickets years ago when I realized I had a drawer stuffed full of tickets and had never won anything.  The sad thing is that people who have money do not worry about us have-nots;  they are too busy trying to figure out how to get more.

yeah and i hear they have so much stuff just piled in their house that is worth alot of money but they dont want to part with it unless its like dvd's or something else. i hear that the garage is filled with things they dont use or dont need but yet dont have a garage sale or give it away to people in need so that they can make money off it instead of it collecting dust or mouse poop in the garage.  :bs: sometimes i hate hoarders.

I studied up on blackjack and keeping a count for a long period of time in preparation for going to a casino.  My methods allowed for no fun or emotion or instinctive feelings, it was simply pure numbers and methodology.  In a period of about a month I had accumulated over 30 thousand in profits.  Then in one bad day I broke from my system, lost this 30 thousand and a few thousand more that I really couldn't spare.  I was literally sick after that and haven't gone back.  I don't know if my initial run was purely luck or what but that one day broke me (in more ways than one).
There are only 10 types of people in the world:  those who understand binary, and those who don't.

I haven't been to a casino except to walk in and turn around.  I think they would be fun, but I also can't see spending that kind of money for the entertainment.  I feel guilty buying a scratch ticket.  But you know you can't win if you don't play.

I used to go about once a year, but only had a certain amount of money that I could lose.  I generally lost it.  I hadn't been to one in years until this summer.  We go to the same resort evry summer and there is a casino in town.  None of us had ever been there.  Four families, with everyone 18 or over went.  It turned out to be a lot of fun.  I played the slots for two hours and only lost $25.  All the guys who played 21 won - from $10 to over $200.  They were all happy.  We will probably do it as a group again next summer. 

I have been to Las Vegas, but got bored with all of the gambling.  I was winning on roulette for a few days.

Everytime I see a commerial for a casino, at the end they always say " If you have a problem, please call this number." If people didn't have gambling problems these places would not exist. :dontknow: :angry7: :dontknow: :angry7:

I go to the Casinos quite often, but not to gamble. They usually have a great buffet and it's really cheap. We have one an hour from us that has all you can eat crab, shrimp, oysters, prime rib, steak, salads, deserts, vegies and even pizza if that rings your bell, all for $14.95 and you can hardly walk out when you finish eating all that stuff.

I've gone a handful of times. I hate losing money so if/when I do I limit myself. Not a lot of people have self control though, they keep thinking, maybe this next hand I can win it all back :wave:

I have never been to a casino!  I can't imagine spending so much money, "that I don't have to start with" on games of chance, luck, or whatever you call it!  I am way to frugal to just blow money away!

Every few years there's a bus trip special, where I get cash  to play with and coupons for meals.
