Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Anyone gamble

I recently tried my hand at a local casino and won $240.00 from a slot machine. I wont make it a routine but i bought some more ammo with it. Anyone ever win big? I seen that someone hit 90,000 on friday.

Wifey goes some, I hate that crap!

The only people I've ever seen have any luck with it are people who already have a lot of money.

No.

Only the house wins. But at least the payoff is better than lottery tickets.

I enjoy playing craps or blackjack once in a while. I am up over the long run, but not getting rich anytime soon from it.

Sports, roulette

I bought a lottery ticket every single day for over 9 months til I hit a winner.....I won $10!!

I almost always win.

I almost always assume i'll lose, and not play.

I used to be a gambling addict.

Terrible habit.


Haven't played the machines in a long time.

Everyday driving hwy 285 to Orla.

Just farmin', that's enough.

In the process of getting my college degree, I had to take a year of Probability and Statistics. It pretty much ruined gambling for me for life. On the rare occasions when I gamble, I take the amount I'd be willing to spend on an evenings entertainment, play something cheap and have a few free drinks until it's gone. Then I go to bed.

Sure occasionally someone will win and sometimes win big. However, the odds demand that in the long run you WILL lose. If you play well in the games that involve skill, you will lose more slowly, but in the end you will lose nevertheless.

yea...........drove to SLC last week................

SHOT show is in Vegas. And Vegas allows smoking in casinos. Cigars and cigarettes everywhere - the smoke stench is horrible. I literally can't stand walking through the casinos anymore, let alone think about sitting at a table watching the casino repeatedly put my money down a little slot in the table.

Just say "NO!"

A coworker used to gamble a lot. He would occasionally brag about how much he won on a particular trip. It was interesting that he never talked about the losing trips.

Nickel, dime, quarter, 3-raise limit is mygame. Maybe I like money hard earned too much?

I once won a bit over $37 cash money on that.

Then there was the night in the remote FS cabin on Big Creek, off Cemetery Ridge on the St. Joe Forest in Idaho. (USFS Trail Crew) ;

I cleaned those suckers, twice!

We each started each round with a full box of the old good Strike Anywhere matches.( Same 5,10, 25 stakes) I couldn't lose! I rode my luck hard that night, once I realized it was in. Filling 2-draw inside straights several times . Two Royal Flushes. Only time ever for even one. If we had had more matches, I would have really cleaned up! As it was I had to refund them each a box to continue the game.

I should have been in Vegas that night.


I think they cheated......I lost maybe a dozen hands all night

No

As a matter of habit, no. Last time I played was 11 years ago in Vegas. Played blackjack for about an hour betting the minimum at the lowest table. I ended up breaking even and that will be enough for me until the next time I go to Vegas. No trip planned at this time.
