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......

Back again! I still have not started another casino-free period. This last week I went twice. Yeah I know the worse things in my life are tied to the casino! I wish I could somehow make enough money so that I could go there and not worry about loosing one or two hundred dollars. Of course I will work for it but I am not sure how to make the extra income for it. Right now I make bracelets and sell them on eBay at http://www.ebay.com/itm/121045750991 and on the
my Etsy http://www.etsy.com/shop/Suestreasures2012 I really enjoy making them but now I have so many waiting to be sold it almost seems pointless to make anymore. I have to figure another way to market them to a larger audience so there is more exposure.
If I could sell four a day at eight dollars each I could generate over two hundred dollars a week.
there is my gambling money. Oh well all in due time.
My story for today is:
I went to the casino and had thirty dollars and nothing else. Figured the longest I would be there was two hours at the most. BUT no!!! I guess it was a good thing I actually hit on the first machine. It is an 'artic' looking machine, it uses igloos for the bonus rounds and of course you have to land on three of them to start the bonus. There is also the Eskimo who pays the most. The polar bear the second highest pay out. Then there are other pictures like the wolf, the penguin and the ever present kings, queens, jacks, tens, and nines. I think they are on all machines. In addition to the symbols there are the wild card symbol. Well the first high pay I landed on was the polar bears with two wilds, made the payout to be four times the bears. From there it just kept landing on the symbols I finally cashed out the machine at four hundred. I kept three in hundred dollar bills and went to another of my favorite machines. All the way on the other side of the casino. Actually I was on my way to the bathroom and stopped at the open machine it is never available. I never made it to the bathroom until much later it was on a winning streak also. All told I walked away with over nine hundred dollars, not bad starting with thirty.
that is what has started the trend again. Right now I have talked myself out of going all day. I am really tired and have so much stuff to do here I just wanted to stay home and pitter. Hang out with my cats and pretend I am a cat today. It has been fun and relaxing. No people around. No phone calls. Just me and the cats.
I am trying to balance my urge to go to the casino with my need to stay home. When I go to the casino everyone is there for the same reason--The Dream--- We all have a common goal in mind to win by any way possible. I have tried to judge faces of the people leaving when I go in to see if they are sad or happy to see how the machines are paying now. I have noticed on my worst days of loosing the cash machines are full all day so it must be a bad day for anyone to hit a winning combination on any machine. Not that that helps my bank account, just my thought process.
Until next time enjoy those machines.....
