I think I got infected with the Spirit of Agent Dale Cooper (or some version of him) at the Casino.
PING!
I’m happy for your wife’s good luck. Both of you are enjoying the experience. I haven’t done much gambling, some at Reno once or twice. I’m too cheap to really let myself go and take risks. It can be fun, if, as you say, you know when to fold ‘em. Question: Do people have to declare winnings above a certain dollar amount for taxable income, or almost never?
My most memorable visit to a casino was the Venetian in Macau...Macau being famous for its casinos.It was huge and absolutely packed with people...Chinese people. And they *all* smoked. As a souvenir I bought a chip which I still have.
I suppose that's better than getting infected with the spirit of D.B. Cooper at the airport.
That’s great. I had a bad day at the track last Friday .
I got a $10 credit at the casino with my hotel in Aruba once. Played the slot for the very 1st time just before going to the airport. Was down to $2 when ding ding dong dong bing ding” sounds erupted. I said “done” got a slip of paper and the lady counted out bills adding up $153! I left for my flight. Gotta quit while ahead for sure
So only keep playing while you’re behind?!?
As I just said, that’s what I was talking about!
Lady Luck is a demon. What seems like blessings are actually baited hooks. That became clear to me when I worked in casino surveillance a few years back. There are multiple demons in casinos that literally ruin lives.
