One of my first trips ever was during March Madness, was in my early 20 s, I remember my mind was blown !!!

I do like Ceasers and always end up there to gamble, I do spread out my losing lol.

Had one trip I met my buddy ( same mentality as me ) and we tag team slots or split winnings, spent 48 hours in MGM, Friday to Sunday, didn’t go outside once lol

and when you did it was a shock to the system. I made a mad dash once from Paris Casino to Planet Hollywood and it was a blinding, suffocating system. It all but took a minute and i mangaged to scald my hand on a metal handrail. I still dont know how that city was built, or how people can live there in the summer.

I made it through one summer living there and had to move back. Its crazy hot.
The little gust of hot wind you get when you open the oven while its on? that is what the breeze feels like everyday.

ah nothing like hitting repeaters on the roulette table, or hitting a hot shoe on a blackjack table. let it ride is a pretty good game to stretch your entertainment dollar.

everyone is a terrible gambler. If everyone wasn't, there wouldn''t be gambling. I've never understood any form of legal gambling outside of poker

Well duh, but I just meant I lose in terrible ways that rip your heart out.

Same here. Although marriage/wedding/other factors have really put the brakes on my sports betting/casino night fun. Although I did just get a new online account through a bookie but haven’t made a bet yet haha.

It just makes the games a little more interesting to watch. I will usually wager $50 on a game and bet 2 or 3 on a weekend if I do make bets. Which sadly is rare now.

Yep, I got married last November ('17) and moved back to Jersey in July ('18) and took a while off until I got back to having some disposable income which was conveniently right around the same time that it became fully legal in New Jersey.

That's what I do with just putting a few bucks on games. I just add a little bit of entertainment. I'll only bet on games that I can sit there and watch for the most part unless I think it's a "lock."

When you say sadly it's rare it's probably for the best for ya, haha. This world is dark and full of terrors.

I have the exact same philosophy. I could lose $800 in a night but don’t even think about it as I had planned for it.

In my early 20 s tho I did go a bit too far and racked up my credit line , but that was a great life lesson.

Yep, it's just considered "entertainment" to me. No different than going to a game or a concert or whatever for me. The second I get into "this is too much," my brain kicks in and I walk away for the most part. I've never put like having to pay my bills or anything in danger or even remotely close.

A couple of my biddies are DEEP into it when it comes to sports betting and i'm like dude, slow down. That city in the desert wasn't built for no reason. Luckily I get the same rush on smaller bets as they do.

Friends and family always tell me you always win, your so lucky.

Tip of the week, you don’t hear about the losses lol

I only tell people on here about my brutal losses so i'm the exact opposite haha.

Depending on when some of you frequented a particular place you're mentioning, you may have actually met me...

Gambling is super enjoyable until you do it for a living for a while. Now my Units are tiny and it's just a fun mental challenge.

So I go to turn on the United v Southampton match on our local NBC station ... and I have a statement from Dish saying that Dish has removed the local station because it is trying to bleed more money out of satellite providers. We could get this channel for free with an antenna. Hey 'Murica - the **** is going on?

So is anyone tech savvy on here?

After @CanadianFlyer88 called me out for not watching multiple games at once.

Does anyone know how to get multiple games to show up on your TV screen like they have at Sports Bars? I have an 82" TV so it could definitely work size wise but...

The only thing i've found is this...

And i'd rather not have to pay $4,000...
