Only went to a casino once. I only spent the free roll of tokens they gave us as part of the hotel goodies, 10.00 worth in the slot machine while the hubby sat at the bar. after putting all the tokens in only once, I won 110.00 enough to stay drunk for the rest off the day. Never had the urge again. I guess I’m glad I didn’t get hooked on it 😂
 
You forgot One Step Beyond and Outer Limits. Loved that stuff.

I could list more but alas , don’t want to overdo it
 
I want my 40 cents back.


Just kiddin'. Cool story. Wish I could go to Vegas.
My Daddy had Lost Wages beaten. He really did have a system wherein he could NEVER lose, and often won $$.

Back then, when you played Keno (a sorta Bingo game with playing cards, IIRC), each round took about 15 minutes or so. And while you were playing, drinkies were freebie from scantily clad little darlings.

Daddy always got a single Chivas Regal per game. If he lost, he covered the cost of the game with the free whiskey. $50+ a bottle.

Any game he won put him in the black. He'd play a coupla days, then hop in his Oldsome-mobile and boogie back to California to go fishin' off Capistrano.

BTW: It was just off Capistrano that I completed my conquering of the seas: I have now become a real experienced sailor, having barfed in both the Atlantic and Pacific.
 
Afteroon, running around in circles and getting nothing accomplished. I hate days like this.

I haven't been to Vegas in over 10 years. Me and Mrs Pute went twice a year for 25 years. Place changed. I remember a lot of what Walt said. Used to be a cheap date. You could eat for practically nothing, drink for free and see top name shows for almost nothing. Not like that now. I won't go anymore. Plus I have a 5 year loosing streak on the Crap table.....that in itself will slow you down.

5 years?

I don’t know what to say about that , like why did it take so long , and be nice?

when we go up to Cripple Creek , we take a designated amount of gambling money and when it’s gone , so are we

so far the strategy has worked , I believe we are on the positive side of the casino money

but we haven’t been up there now for about 4 years lol and there ain’t even a grocery store in our town no more , they closed the doors last week after about 75 years of service

so yeah , no grocery store let alone a casino

but i would wager if the questions on the ballot we’re would we rather have a grocery store or a casino the folks out here would probably vote casino
 
@ Big.....I am an idiot. For years I could play that game and do ok. Best Odds in Vegas. I had a technique. Some times you won some you loose but I could always play and have fun. Then I started loosing. And anybody who knows craps knows you can loose a lot and fast. It was easy to have $150 on the table and one roll of 7 and s-hit!. I even tried the Wrong Way Better technique.....still lost.

Now I just play with myself but that only takes a minute.
