I am back! It has been awhile I know. I have started the count again. I am on day 6, not very long but it is a great start. Tomorrow will be one week, and I know I will not go there since I have a meeting all day and have to work early on Wednesday morning. I am not making any promises about the weekend. I have four days off in a row and unless I sell some of my bracelets so I can make more I will probably get antsy. That is when I get into trouble. I sit and think about all the money I need and knowing how fast I can make it at the casino it is difficult to stay home.
I have to remember the last time I went and it cost me way too much in time, money and self respect. I was an idiot and I knew it as I was doing it. I kept swearing that I was going to win so I kept going and getting more money. I was so sure I was going to win it all back, doesn't everyone? Don't we always think we will win it back? Just one more spin, just one more bonus!
I know I am not the only one to think they will win it all back. The casino is full of people who think they are going to hit it big, win it all back never do we think we will leave a loser. But more people leave a loser than a winner.
Every time I go over to Parx I look at that great big horses head they put up this year,and I wonder how much of it I paid for. We all know they can't build additions or larger casinos without the people who loose. Funny how I am very frugal about everything in my life except there. I show at Goodwill and Produce Junction to save. I do not buy anything not on sale. But I will sit and put money into those one-arm-bandits. Why? Is it the entertainment I am paying for? The chance of the big win? Parx really does not offer the opportunity to win that big, the only advantage they have is it is only a twenty minute drive as with going to the 'big' casino's in Atlantic City. For me to drive to AC it is an hour and a half even when I make great time. I like Atlantic City much better. There are better options for machines and the comps are much better. But oh that drive home is very long and I always have trouble staying awake on the drive home.
So maybe I will just stay home until I can fly to Las Vegas to the really big and best casinos?
I can really have more fun.
Until next time Gamble smartly......
