Gambling is an evil thing

[_19disnA]

I was just making a general comment for those who perhaps haven't been to a casino recently. A given amount of money won't last nearly as long as it might have 5+ years ago.

I don't know why, but I hate to gamble. Too much pressure due to the risk of loss. I feel slot machines are straight-up rigged, and I don't have enough confidence in myself to "make the right moves" at table games to mitigate my already disadvantaged odds, so I just don't play.

Well, somehow I agree with you. But I would like to go to Vegas at least at once.

I understand the viewpoint that gambling can be problematic, but it also has its fun aspects when done responsibly. Casinos offer entertainment, social interaction, and the thrill of the game, which can be enjoyable in moderation. Like you, I've always wanted to visit a Las Vegas casino to experience the excitement and atmosphere firsthand.

Since I haven't made it to Las Vegas yet, I've been playing online just for fun, not aiming for big money. This allows me to enjoy the games without the risk of significant financial loss. You can find different online gaming options here, where the focus is on enjoying the experience rather than the gamble.

I'm going the first weekend in May to a local casino for a spa weekend- I am bringing with me 1,000 in cash- just what I am comfortable losing- if/when I lose that then I am done- I leave my ATM card home so no dipping into that if I run out LOL.

The only thing I truly enjoyed gambling on was horse racing back in the day. The cost/enjoyed ratio was usually positive. For gambling my thoughts go to: If i used this money elsewhere, how likely is that to be more satisfying. This is why I don’t buy scratchoffs and have never initiated a casino trip myself. There’s always something I’d prefer insted.

I'm finally getting to go to the casino again on the 25th of this month. I haven't gone since my uncle got sick and then passed some years ago and then the pandemic. I budgeted for it, and I *never* deviate from my budget, don't bring my debit card, and once the money's gone I'm done. I'll miss my uncle being there, though-quite apart from the fact that I loved him to bits, he used to slip me ten dollar bills when he thought my aunt wasn't looking whenever I ran out of money earlier than everyone else.
