“I have finally convinced my wife about walking away cold turkey after losing $20. Why? Because she is now also convinced that Lady Luck will bless those who do so. Last night was the first time I didn’t have to argue with her to NOT put more money into the slots after the $20 we put into the slots after the final cashout was lost. One time, years ago I actually had to pick my wife up out and carry her out of the casino while she was loudly protesting to play some more. All the while everybody who saw that scene erupted into loud laughter. Once outside my wife was grateful that I removed her while she was still ahead. And the fringe benefit was that we provided unintended comedic entertainment to the casino patrons.”
LOL! I bet that was an amusing scene. Wife is also blessed to have her “will power” along to not only drive but to also stop her from returning all the winnings to the “house”.
She really has magic fingers to win so much. May “Lady Luck” continue to smile on her! I think the lack of greed is a factor.
For me it is more about the FUN than the winnings. Actually the most Casino fun I had was on our last Celebrity Cruise to the Eastern Caribbean last January/February. Yes, we LOST the $20 but weirdly it took her nearly THREE HOURS to do so. It kept going up and down and up and down so much that it was entertaining. It never went up so much that we could cashout but just remembering how long that $20 lasted was a fond memory.
