How good would have felt leaving the casino? Maybe it is best you lost how you did.

With 700 dollars? I would be exstatic... but would feel anxoius thinking how much more I could have one... but that goes away. and I become happy with what I made. Last time in AC, I left at a certain time so I didnt have all night to lose all my money. and it worked that whey. I have trouble doing this normally when it comes to gambing... and I do not gamble often at all

You gotta start with disposable money, say $100. Then you say, if I win over $400, I'll take out $400, and keep playing with $100. That way once you're up, you're gonna stay up!

I have a bad habit of only reading the OP.
But anyway, I was at this casino a few weeks back watching my friend throw money away playing slots. I met up with her like halfway through the night, but when she put her card in she was around $20 on it. She got up to $40, I told her to go cash out and play with just $20 again...
Apparently because she had started the night at $100, it wasn't worth cashing out that $20. I really don't understand people that gamble like that. I mean, if I actually did, I'd be up by $5 and go cash out that 5. Why the fuck not really.

Poker is the only good casino game because you're playing against other people and not against House odds. Blackjack used to be worthwhile back when you could still count cards, and slot machines are for suckas.

I gambled once at Foxwoods Casino in CT, I was there for a business conference. Went in with a $200 limit and within 3 hours of being there I was up $800 playing blackjack and roulette.
But I had 3 more days there... and a big ass bottle of Dexedrine...
So the moral of the story is, don't gamble on Amphetamines and free drinks... It's next to impossible to quit. I ended up blowing the $800 I had won and then made multiple withdrawals at their ATM's (which charge like a $4 service charge each time... And at the end I was cranking quarter slots like a slave.
So all in all I lost about $400 of my own money and felt like a fucking loser cranking those slots.
Amphetamines and gambling don't mix... Unless you are playing poker.

I always try doing something similar... But then I ALWAYS blow away the money I allowed myself to use, then always dip into the untouchable stuff. I think that it was easy enough to win say 400 bucks, it will be just as easy to do again!

When I'm in casinos I just can't get over the fact that except for poker, you will not win in the long run. Period.

I have known myself in a way I doubt I would have ever occurred except as it did. Smith, P. Bull.

Not exactly. It takes longer to establish a behavior with random rewards than with consistent rewards but, once established, the behavior rewarded randomly is harder to extinguish and perseveres much longer once the reward is removed.
By which I mean to say "stay out of the casinos unless you are comfortable just throwing money away". If you want any kind of game that might allow expertise pick football games with a square bookie. 53% correct does slightly better than even if the vig is 10% of losing bets.
