Probably so. I just don’t give a damn about a plooshie that looks like a budgerigar.
I have not even touched on “multi carding” or “comp hustling” yet. Slots are designed by computer nerds. Your casino’s “Platinum card”? Those are designed by the promotions department. Glitches galore!
Aww. Come on.
We all need a stuffed toy.
I used to grab them for my old rat terrier. Til I had to have about 20lbs of fluff surgically removed from her gut.
My grandsons always want me to get Pokemon cards out of one particular claw machine. I generally just buy them a packet. It’s cheaper.
Do any of those claw machines have 1990s beanie babies? If so, I’m in! I don’t want those damn things, but I can sell them.
You had a ratty?! I love them.
If I ever get a rat-terrier plushie out of a claw machine I’m sending it to you.
Speaking of that, have you ever seen the movie Strayz?
Love the Ratties. I have had a couple. My old girl lived to age 23. Smartest dog I ever owned.
@MW_Degen_Gamblr , who you gonna sell Beanie babies to?
Everyone I know has a closet full.
I have the Princess Diana one. I thought it was valuable. Nah.
I gave it to the kids to play with just like all those damn worthless Cabbage patch dolls. Boxes and all. Nobody got disposable cash for that.
I dated a woman who had to buy beanie babies for her cat because he would steal hers and make his own collection.
We’ve had BB disembowments, by live animals(including kids).
Which is, at least, a year long clean up process.
I can walk down the hall to this day and find a BB bead.
I’ve always wondered if people who go to casinos habitually get an anticipatory rush of hormones when they walk thru the door. My uncle shoots craps at a casino; he said it doesn’t happen until the dice have rolled a few times. I think it’s dopamine that he really gets the rush from at the table there.
OP, can you stop? What would happen if you did?
More Benjamins in his wallet.
I will lose my room comps.
No. I feel dread. Casinos are boring. I don’t get the dopamine hit until after a big win.
Thats bad?
Some people look at it this way, some people look at it the other way…and I looked at your first post and your rationalizations in your subsequent posts and realized why casinos make money.
I think living out in the streets, in my parents basement, or in an apartment with three roommates are bad things. Plus, I have housekeeping, pool access, and an exercise room at the hotel. Sometimes I get rooms with a two person hot tub. I might be as high as the 16th floor sometimes.I hate elevators, but once Im up there it’s fun looking down and being able to see the landscape for miles. I don’t have to close my curtains. I can dance naked if I want to. I can masturbate while watching the sunrise.
First. maybe a little too much information there
Second. are you saying that you don’t actually have a fixed residence and rely on comped rooms form casinos for shelter? I’m not asking to be judgmental, but I would find it fascinating if true
Third, can you cite any actual casino regulation that requires games to be in a positive EV payout mode and make it visible? That would go some ways to validating your claims
Dread is interesting. I’ve had financial worries but never one when I thought I could correct it with one positive break. I’ve honestly just never had that expectation. My parents didn’t instill that expectation in me growing up for better or probably worse.
What would happen if you moved in Moms basement and saved the money?
After a while you’ll be able to, someday, purchase a home with amenities that fit your needs.
Like most adults do?
You don’t seem very old. I think you have time.
You gotta realize this is not a sustainable for longterm housing.
Do you have a plan B.?
Again, exactly how much money have you lost over the past 12 months? Is it enough to pay for your own place? Do you even know exactly how much you’ve won or lose? Do you track it in a spreadsheet or notebook?
