All day I have been fighting the urge not to go to the casino! Not sure if I want to go because I do not want to clean or if I am just bored. I do know if I count on winning I usually do not. Everything in me says it is Saturday night and everyone else is there, I will not be able to get my favorite machines, then just become frustrated. So I just played games on www.facebook.com , did a little work around here and rested. Sounds really exciting.
Well I have another story from the gambling winning stories.
I do believe I am one of the luckiest people. One night after work I decided to go to www.parxcasino.com of course it had to be a Thursday night, and I knew if I stayed long enough my pay check would be in the bank. Usually my check was in the bank around 3 am, so I had some free money, and some time because I was off the next day. For the record I hate absolutely despise being off on Friday or even Saturday.
I had to waste some time through the night before the direct deposit went through which is not very easy in a casino when out of money. I went and bought a cup of coffee with my free food money. Sat and watched a group of machines which I never play, I do not know why, usually I get stuck on certain machines. Maybe because I loose on them and I want my money back, or maybe I won a couple of times and think I will win again. These machines were really exciting there is a big screen where a leprechaun jumps around a course and the further he gets the more it pays off. I was for all intense purposes watching a video game on a big screen. The the 'special' time hit and I could get some more money.
Of course I was only going to get a little since I had bills to pay ended up withdrawing most of my paycheck and was so mad at myself. I was going to have dinner with my sister later in the day and now I was out of money again...
I took my last twenty dollars and sat at what I call the bennie machine playing a quarter which usually does not pay enough to account for anything. I started to get the bonus rounds and was just happy to be able to win some to keep playing. Well keep playing I did. When I am really broke and down to my last money I have a system, doesn't every gambler? I play one coin until I get to a certain dollar amount then I go up to two coins. I continue that, for every amount reach I bet up or down attempting to following a trend. This night or should I say morning, I inched my way up to playing four coins which equated to one dollar. The machine kept paying me and I would say, OK get me to two hundred and I will quit, then OK get me to three hundred and I will quit. Much to my amazement I won my way back up to over seven hundred dollars when I did quit and walked with about seven hundred and fifty dollars, which was more than my pay check boy was I ever happy....
I was so excited to be able to stop at the bank on the way home from there and deposit five hundred dollars into the bank. I could go to the grocery store and buy dinner, and even had enough for the week. Funny thing in relating this story it does not show the sheer desperation I felt when I sat at that machine with my last twenty dollars. Does not relate the times I have lost so bad I counted penny's for coffee during the week. Why is it we, all gamblers, only remember the winning times with such joy that we tend to block all the bad nights where we have lost so much we are physically sick?
So that is my crazy story for tonight, I have plenty of them. This blog could go on for along time. I just hope someone is reading it, or maybe I am afraid someone who knows me will read it and know the truth. I keep it all hidden for the most part so I hope no one knows the truth.
