Atlantic City...

December 12th, 2006 at 01:21 am

Just returned from the work Christmas party in Atlantic City. Didn't go to well when it came to making my fortune at the blackjack table! Took the worst beating of my gambling career! It's not much a career...a few trips to AC and a few poker games among friends and family over the past 10 years. A lot of people might say that I am crazy to gamble around the holidays...especially while I am trying to pay down some debt. Maybe I am. All I know is that I didn't lose any money that I didn't plan on losing. When I bring money with me to gamble, I expect to lose it. Therefore I do not "need" the money for anything else. I actually put this into my budget and save up for such a trip. To each his own I guess. At least the debt payoff is going in the right direction. I am almost done with the x-mas shopping and I made all purchases with cash or debit card! Starting January, the debt payoff should start to pick up some more steam. Happy Holidays to all and to all a good night!

    You have a good outlook on gambling. Remember folks that the odds are always in the house' favor. Over the long run, in a legit game, the house will win! SOmething for folks to think about!Smile

    just budget poker/gambling in as an entertainment expense. DH and i play quarter games with friends, and $10 will last us all night. where else can we get 4 hours of entertainment for $10? as long as your able to only spend what you budget, i feel it's perfectly legit. quitting while you're ahead, however, is a skill that is harder to master... i find folks rag me and say i'm trying to take their money. well, duh: i'm playing poker, of course i'm trying to take your money!
