other than the stock market, i cant get into being addicted to giving away my money

during holidays we have this game called Toma Todo which we use spinning top to determine the fortune of the player spinning it. We play using quarters.

At the arcades, among my friends and some through association, we have ourselves something called "money matches". We basically, well for me, I do a dollar for each rounds I win in a fighting game against the other player - for warm ups. Then we do 5 bucks each match or 10 for each match, winner takes the cash. I dont do sets cause fuckers go crazy with money bets, some would lay down $20s to $100 for each match of 5 sets. Win all 5 and you might win yourself $100 or $500 bucks.

I've never understood how people can gamble their money away. I've played a few slot machines, but the risk of losing money doesn't appeal to me.

I've never understood how people can gamble their money away.

Because people who gamble are idiots.

slots machines are random. You gamble on certain things based on how well your winning percentage is. Dont gamble dumb.

I tried blackjack and roulette while in Vegas.

I got lucky and got the exact number hit twice on roulette. I was not so good at blackjack despite the tips I was given about it.

In the end I didn't want to spend more than $60 bucks, so I didn't. I won about $150 though so that offset it at least!

i played online poker for a few weeks. i was charmed by stories of people who play poker for a living, so i read a few books and played a lot of micro stakes games (.05/.10 limit) and was actually making money every day (like a buck or two, but still), and then on one day i lost it all in the span of a few hours and haven't tried playing again since

still, it's an idea

In AC i mostly fuck around at the poker bars just to get free drinks OR I play roulette..... Blackjack when I am sober.

Thats it
