    Like to hang out, listen to stories of win and loss. and i already know casinos are awful..i ve been to 200 or so. I felt a negative feeling, as i walked around. I played blackjack, and it was relaxing. Noticed if i ever added beer to the game. It would sad soon. It in my opinion is the only place i ever went to , where you could happy and sad so many times in an HOUR! Like an emotional roller coaster. I tryed to learn from that. Bottom line, is , any wins didnt mean anything, Because i didnt earn it…and i worked since i was 11. Money didnt come easy. And i watched people lose more than i would make in a month gambling. And i noticed people were not really having agood time, and leaving with a smile on their faces. many more losers than occasional winner. and you and I, that money, went right back into to make casinos rich. I HATE CASINOS. they are a cancer on America. It is just an all too easy place to be around people, enjoy some food, sit and talk and play with strangers. Then it escalated, and i actually thought i could win most days. Delussional thinking. then one day talking to a counselor i see for PTSD, from Viet Nam she mentioned, i might be going there to experience the same addreline , from days long ago. It clicked, Rang a bell. And i sure agreed with her. And if your here and reading this, you have felt the addrenline rush from hoping you could get that special card, and win a hand of blackjack. or craps. or slots or bingo….its like drug. and when i recognized it. I could then deal with why i was there so many times. And of course i had a system, everybody gotta have a system. Well, guess what, systems dont work. and never have. So its better to have a plan. Plan is, they cant have any control over me, if i dont show up. Plus they wanted $3.50 for bottle of beer i could get at the grocery store for a mere buck. They love us at the casino they send us mail, with comps for 5 free play, that wont even pay for the fuel to get there. let enough back home. hahhaaha So i am here…to keep me away from the evil casinos. and help others…if i can. Best i got.
