Casino - Go SOBER!!!

Well...
My cat mushroom-tripped on a Friday night... then the following Saturday; feeling low from the overwhelming visuals and stimulus...
My cat decided to hit the Slots-Casino, the idea came to my cat after finding and smoking that small stash of crystal-meth hidden at home with a glass pipe with a bulb at the end.... you can only imagine what happens next when my cat's pupils were the size of flying saucers.... big black ones. 
My cat was up a hundred $$$, down two hundred $$$, up three or more and then bang... a $750 jackpot. Altogether $$$1100 in profits....
The compulsive nature of crystal intoxication that anyone has had the joy of experiencing can relate to the rest of this story.
The $1100 profit began to dwindle and dwindle on various games, some $0.01 machines to the $10.00+ machines per spin, it did not matter as long as a treaked out cat had something to do.
In the end all profits were lost and the original $100 in pocket investment gone as well.... Short story short - ALL GONE!!!
Luckily my Cat did not carry anything but his wallet and a identification card.... luckily the credit cards and debit cards were safe at home. =D I am sure his female cat companion was happy knowing that but who can tell at this point since she had no ideas what my cat was doing at all.
SOOO the moral of this story is as follows:
#1 Play within your means - Check!
#2 Only bring enough $$$ that you can lose (Point#1 means the exact same thing) - Check!
#3 Leave your plastics at home (Credit Cards / Debit cards) - Check!
#4 Leave after a big bin win - My Cat totally Failed This! The Shame =(
#5 ALWAYS ALWAYS Go Sober (Which definitely influences point #4) - Yet again, My Cat's brain was being bombarded with Dopamine at 100 Million to the power of 155 per second; which spells = DISASTER. I am sure if he were to win 100 times more of what her won.... my cat would probably still keep playing based on the sheer fact of how much dopamine is bombarding his brain and will continue to do so for the next 12+ hours....
SOOOOOO people.... don't be like my cat.... you will end up so frustrated and sad and who knows what else that...... well I am not going to say it, but you know what I mean.
-Oz CIAO Y'all! Greetings From Canada! Happy ("2017") New Year!
Luckily my cat met an aquaintance there who happens to know to your family quite well and they came and got you, concerned for your safety..... since my Cat at this point was very intoxicated....
SO The Real moral of the Story: DO NOT GO GAMBLING UNLESS YOUR ARE TOTALLY SOBER AND IN CONTROL OF YOUR MIND AND FEELINGS!!!
I hope some of you can relate and throw out some other pointers I may have missed!
Thanks to all!
And may nature, destiny, and the world bless you all! (Not God or Satan or Allah or Jesus or whatever they call themselves... they don't exist either Move on for the love of Humanity!!!) =D
Ciao! -Oz

I went to the new MGM casino that just opened here in DC. The table minimums were $50. Played one hand of blackjack split $30 each with my friend. Got dealt 11. Doubles down for less. Won the hand and we walked out $90 richer.

I can relate OP The few times I went to the casino I was on amphetamine and dabs, sometimes benzos. It never ended well, except I usually pumped the breaks at $80-$100 losses and left. I learned that the casino is only fun if you have enough money to not give a shit

Pops always told me "Never bet scared money"
Also, the bright lights/rewarding sounds and compulsive triggers a casino aimed to place upon your tweaked cat experience, didn't do his dopamine receptors any favors. He never had a chance.
Thanks for sharing

Exactly. Vegas is fun because you can always find a $5 table. I couldn't believe they had $50 minimums at this new place. Totally ridiculous.

I'll sit in a 1/2 poker game and milk somewhere in the middle buy in range while the people I came with lose hundreds of dollars playing slots and let it ride. I can't feel comfortable gambling at a game unless I've spent numerous hours researching the game.

Your cat ate shrooms? What the fuck op. You shouldn't feed animals psychadelic drugs. They have no clue what they're in for and it can damage them permanently.
You should really be ashamed of yourself you sick piece of shit.
And if this is some bullshit code phrasing to avoid saying you ate shrooms, it ain't working. Every cop with a hard dick is reading your post right now tracking you down.
On account of feeding cats shrooms that is.
I'm done with this thread. Get the fuck out of my face man.

Don't get to butthurt op, I'm just fucking with you, but in all seriousness. the whole "cat ate my shrooms thing" is like 7th grade first toke paranoia. If your on the site at all, your using psychadelics (or have in the past)
If anyone says otherwise tell them they're full of shit and to fuck off 
But my false anger joke probably took it a little to far. I'll try and play nice next time.

Yes! Don't get all mad because you were born like a century before I was man.. old geezers like you are likely to pop an artery if you get too mad.
