I was up about $1,000 and decided to put it all on red before I left the casino and lost it all.

It's a common thing to chase. It takes discipline to wall when you are at your peak up. Most once you get there get greedy and go in the tank. Same goes for being down. Usually if you play long enough you can get it back but have to be willing to go deeper to get there.

Do you think the lyricist had your question in mind? Quit while your not so far behind nobody quits while they are ahead.


That's life (that's life), that's what all the people say
You're ridin' high in April, shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
When I'm back on top, back on top in June

I said that's life (that's life), and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks stompin' on a dream
But I don't let it, let it get me down
'cause this fine old world, it keeps spinnin' around

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
Each time I find myself flat on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life (that's life), I tell you I can't deny it
I thought of quitting, baby, but my heart just ain't gonna buy it
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
Each time I find myself layin' flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life (that's life), that's life and I can't deny it
Many times I thought of cuttin' out but my heart won't buy it
But if there's nothin' shakin' come this here July
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball a-and die

My, my!

Generally, I win just enough to keep my wife afloat. She and her sister are stupid-stuck on Paigow. I'll play for a few minutes with them, then go wander the slots. Come back having won some cash, she takes it to keep playing. I get another drink, go make some more money. Rinse and repeat.

Last night she asked me to get her a scratcher. Lucky 7s was in the #7 slot, so I got 1. She matched all 18 spots on the card, won $100. "Take it back and get me MORE" So I got 1 more, plus beer and wine coolers, then gave her $40. Now I don't have to go to the bank until Monday or Tuesday.

You're old, slots really?

[UncleWede]

I've learned over many moons that I get the best payback there. And if I can't pull the handle to really make it work, I usually find another machine.

Play a skill game or stay out.

[leopard print]

I dropped $3k at the tables in Vegas once. Never again. I only allot $500 for gambling whenever I go now. If I lose that I'm done for the trip.

One of my buddies dropped $30K once. He's come up a shit ton every now and then, but I'm betting he's in the hole overall.

I prefer poker and sports betting, bj and pai gow some also.

[kprocivic]

Poker and black Jack for me. Slots are a good for taking a break from the tables.

[Joekerr]

Poker and Roulette are my favourites, though I don't play often and when I do, it's only with the amount of money that I would otherwise consider I'd spend on entertainment (including dinner) elsewhere. That way I don't care if I lose it.

[The Wind Breezes]

Legal gambling? Just give your money to me. I guarantee I'll do more interesting shit with it than the casino and you'll lose either way.

Gambling is for idiots.

[MKSixer]

Poker, blackjack, and roulette. I walk when out of my stake or once I've hit my win mark.

They don't build those big pretty buildings losing money.
