i dont know about you guys but i never really was interested in gambling and casinos until a friend of mine took me to Atlantic City. That was about a month ago, my first time ever stepping into a casino. I lost 200 bux that day but it was all outta fun. I wasnt really disappointed and i was just learning how all the games work. even if i won like 10 dollars i would get happy. Then i found myself goin back alot more, sometimes 3 times in a week. The thing is i got really interested in gambling, how the games work, i started betting heavy and everything. i know what ur all thinking, i lost everything but the thing is i didnt lose any money all the times i went back. It was just cuz i liked the atmosphere and found myself winning alot of hundreds of dollars that i kept goin back. so far im on a roll still. although that money is goin to college. but its just weird cuz who ever i tell that ive been goin to atlantic city and i won this much isnt really supportive of me. All i hear is "just be careful" or "your gonna give it all back" or "you have a gambling problem" no one seems to care about the fact that i actually won!! anyways, i feel like it is an addiction and i always find myself goin back there but im afraid that days gonna come where everyone was right and im gonna lose everything i gained. So now im stayin away for a while. But its not like i gamble my car payments or my insurance money. im still responsible and take care of all the essential things first before i hit the casinos. to make a long story short, i just wanna see if anyone out there has a gambling addiction like me and just always has the itch to go to a casino, and talk about it 24/7, always think about it.

 

 

id say that as long as it doesnt start showing in other parts of your life (ie. you lose money you cant afford to, or miss work to spend the day at the casino) then its just a pastime that you enjoy. im the same way i love going to AC. sometimes i win big, and sometimes i lose big. and whenever i go, it makes me want to go back even more. the one thing i can suggest is never to take more than you can afford to lose, and set your limits. thats what i do with my wife, everytime we sit at a table, we set our UP and down limit. then if we win that much, or lose that much we walk away. its hard to walk away when you are winning, and maybe even a little harder to do it when you are losing, but you have to stay in control

 

The reason that casinos make billions of dollars= they make a lot more than they loose.

 

I bet you guys wouldn't admit it if you did.

 

I'm all in....

 

Is it a gambling problem if you win? Texas hold em is the shit.

 

I really enjoy Blackjack and can get quite aggressive in my play sometimes getting on streaks of betting $100 - $200 a hand. But, it could be easily addictive. It is much more fun in Vegas than the riverboats that are close by.

My dad always says, "the casinos weren't built on winners".

Fortunately, my wife and I don't go that often.

 

I like going to casinos, but you have to realize that winning in the past doesn't mean you'll win in the future.

Have fun, but be careful.

 

Seems like you're catching the addiction flu. Like smoking cigarettes, the first time is just for fun, but then you'd find yourself wanting more and more. It's like a virus that keeps on invading your immune system.

I hate gambling and hate everything that's related to gambling, including casinos and everyone in them. I've played several times at casinos with my friends in the past. At first, it was for fun. Then all of the friends grew addicted to it and kept losing hard-earned $$$. I, on the other hand, kicked the virus in the ass and sent it packing. Just like smoking and doing experimental drugs, gambling hasn't even a slightest grab on me. I'm addicted to none.
