Given this limited data set, I'd suggest that you continue investing your money in that slot machine.

Although it may be true that many slot machines actually cause you to lose money in the long run, there are a handful of well-run slot machines that actually make money. The best way to find these winning slot machines is to look backwards, at past performance. The slot machine that paid you $13,000 is a proven winner.

A lot of so-called "naysayers" like Colonel Hapablap will probably disagree with this strategy, but is he a certified slot machine professional? No! He isn't even a Colonel! And think how stupid you'll feel when that slot machine does pay out another jackpot, but you weren't there to collect it because you stopped investing.

Plus given the current performance of the stock markets it will be wash most likely. You can lose it in the market or in the casino, either way it is gone. At least with one you can get free drinks.

First, give me $500.

Second, take the remaining $12,500 and go to the blackjack table. Play 25, $500 hands.

The stock market is just like the place you won money. It is a risk. Get a broker.If you are young you should invest your profit in something safe. Are grow and sell some bad arse weed. Good Luck. Cus

I'm sure there are plenty people who have lost a fortune that would definitely disagree with that statement right now

I'd say just open up a brokerage account and do your homework on some stocks

Have you watched the SM lately?

If I have to answer I would go with GE- Beaten down bad or Microsoft or maybe CISCO.

Wanna get super risky... C- Citigroup. or AIG- Both rise a little of a good smelling Obama fart and you got some serious cash

Two stock investing principles I've lived by:

1) Buy low, sell high.

2) Only buy stocks that are going to go up in price.

Your brother sent me a link to your myspace page. I never would've thought you'd be such a big fan of 5th Ward Weeby.
