A little Hurrah...hurrah

Some friends that I have really enjoy going to the casino (and losing lots of money...lol)


They make fun of me cuz when I go I take fifty dollars (for entertainment right).


They play table games and I take off and play nickel slots (fifty dollars can last hours sometimes)


We have a nice dinner (free cuz they are big players) and I usually lose anywhere from five to thirty dollars...I wont tell you how much they lose but sometimes they win huge too (one buddy left with ten thousand one night)


Today however...chaching chaching...it was the wizard of oz slot machine...yay...I love Toto...hehehe


I won $375 (and I still had my $50).....hurrah hurrah


I will now pay my gas bill, phone/cell/internet bill, small cd purchase bill and the rest will go on my credit card debt...


Just had to share some fun and great news

Oh wow, that is great that you can catch up!! I miss slot machines. My DH and I went to a couple of casinos in CA when he was stationed there and we had a blast!

That's GREAT!! I rarely gamble, but if I do I'm like you. I take a set amount out of my entertainment budget and when it is gone it is gone. But lucky you, this time you came home with more than you went with. ENJOY

Good for you! I am not a big casino person. I have no luck :(


But if I do go, I bring a small amount of money and thats all I use. When its gone its gone!


And really, if you are getting a dinner out of it (and drinks I am assuming!) thats really not that bad for $50. So then if you win money, its a bonus!


Congrats!

Congrats on winning. And good for you for not giving into pressure and playing with your friends with potential to loose more money than you can afford. Also, congrats on paying bills/debts rather than "blowing" the found money.

Oh very nice! Gambling can be fun we just all have to be careful with it. Set an amount and stick to it with zero expectations. Although I'm not going to lie I have dreams occasionally of putting like 5 grand on black at the black jack table to double my money and solve all my problems! I'd never do it, and nothing is ever that easy for me!
