Never trust a fart!

Wife just won $1300 on a dollar slot for a $20 investment while I lost $100 at blackjack. Indian Casino's up here are not as viscious as they are in CA. Still double deck on blackjack and shoe games are 6 deks instead of continous shuule machines like down there.

Hey, I'm up over a million on my bj online game! Yes, its just play money.

Yea, I hate the continuous shuffle bj tables. At least with a 6 deck shoe, we at least get a minute to stand and adjust the luggage while they shuffle or swap shoes.

I have not done much gambling. The most I gambled was in the stock market and I made very little money doing that. But my grandfather made a good living at gambling. He was a legal bookie around 1890 to 1920s. He was a riverboat gambler on the Mississippi as they went up and down the river to various horse tracks where he was a bookie as that was before pari-mutuel betting. He was the "house" in these bets and the odds were always in his favor.

He had what he called "an insurance policy" which was a huge, very expensive diamond ring he bought my grandmother. In the rare instances when things went wrong and he found himself broke, he would pawn the ring for his stakes and pretty soon recover and get the ring back. This "insurance policy" kept my grandmother living well the rest of her life after he died.

I play Texas hold 'em every Tuesday night. $10 buy in and generally lose $6-20 every week. Cheap entertainment but but I'm definitely down.

Only thing we go to the local casino's for is the good food. I avoid everything else..

once but never again. Here was my game $20 in quarters. Ran though the casino at 6am Putting 1 qtr in every machine. I netted $160. Equals about 600% win... on my way to feed my horses for an exhibition roping later that day.
