re: Man loses his hard earned money at the casino and loses it

From what the interior looks like, I'm guessing it's one of the shittier hotel casinos like Treasure Island / Circus Circus. Definitely not the Wynn because that's where all of the rich people go stay at.

Most people are looking for life changing money, but they aren’t willing to bet life changing money. They lose 100% of the time.

This seems to be true. Last year the wife(no pics) and I went to Las Vegas for our anniversary and one night in the casino she made the observation that if you look around you'll see that nobody in there playing slots looked like they were having fun or looked happy and she was right. They looked pretty gloomy really

I gamble from time to time but always know casinos are there to make money, not give it away
The first time I went to Lauberge in Baton Rouge, my wife and I had $100 each to play slots. I lost my $100 and was standing behind her and she gave me $40 to stick in the machine beside her so no one else would sit there. I hit the “jackpot” of $7,500 within seconds. The attendant came and made me get a players card to put in the machine. I assumed they would be tracking me from then on to make sure they got their money back so I’ve never used a card there again

Gambling may be the worst vice. It brings out the worst in people and has the potential to ruin so many lives and I’m especially concerned about it’s ability to ruin sports.

I’ve never lost my temper. I’ve been mad at myself a thousand times not walking out when I should have. It’s not the dealers fault. I don’t step foot in a casino until the bills are paid first. I’ve learned the lessons the hard way too many times.

Its sorta funny how he’s playing the ‘oppressed’ card wearing a wife beater at a casino and bitching about blowing his wad

I’ve never lost my shite but I’ve had some bad beats that made me shake my head and think well that sucked. Todd Gurley sliding at the 2 or 3 yard line a few years ago made me mad and a LSU RB did the same thing at an Arkansas game. The Saints got some horrendous calls at the end of their last playoff game that irked me. I absolutely love gambling on sports. Having said that thank goodness I’ve never gotten out of control with it. I set aside an amount I’m prepared to lose and can afford to lose. I’ve been doing it that way for over 30 years. I wager no more than 1% to 3% of that money that I set aside on one single wager over the course of a year. Historically I’ve always at worst broke even over the long term in a calendar year, but even having a good year is nothing I’m going to get rich on. I view it more as a game to go head to head with the brightest of oddsmakers. Gambling is a slippery slope much like alcohol People with addictive personalities should not chase either one. I can drink a beer or two and I’m done. I’ve got a few friends that alcohol ruined their lives because they are nonfunctioning raging alcoholics. You just never know if you got that alcoholic gene in you or the degenerate gene. I’m grateful I can drink and gamble for fun and not ruin my life. My friend works at a casino dealing blackjack and it’s sad to hear some of the stories he’s told me.

Win some. Lose some.
That's why it's called gambling.

Organize your thoughts after the rough draft rolls through your head. The wheels turning your brain need balancing weights. No wonder why the 0T pushes you around. Take it step by step. If you plan a little, your story may grow legs and stand on it's own.
Seriously though, your stories truly suck.

Being reincarnated as a slot machine probably isn’t so bad, women give you a quarter and a tug until they hit the jackpot, then they take a bathroom break and start again.

A big reason sports are as popular as they are is gambling

If you watch his expressions and body language, they all say I'm a victim and I was forced into the casino.

This is why I stay out of casinos when on the road. Trashiest place on earth and they naturally have tons of truck parking to attract bored drivers.
