Atlantic City

Last Friday, we took a trip out to the big AC to gamble away our money, well at least me (On a side note, my friend Matt was organizing a bar crawl after work in Georgetown and I mentioned that I was going to throw my money away in a more efficient manner at AC, ha.). It was a fun time. My friend Dave is big into playing card games and gambling, and is a big craps fan at the casinos. So after watching him bet for a while and kind of getting the odds, I decided to throw in $120 and test my luck. Since our group was placing the same bets on the table, we went up and down together, which was kind of interesting to see that happen. Dave was probably up around $100 at one point, and maybe I was up ~$40. However, we hit a bad streak of dice and I ended up walking away after I got down to $30 left. Dave and everyone else pretty much played until they lost all their money. I originally wanted to play blackjack, because I did well at that the last time I was up their, but I lost as much money as I was willing to at the craps table:(

Candy didn't really play all that much, ... smart girl:) She walked away with about $75 that I gave her for gambling if she wanted to gamble at all. Which is probably good because if I didn't give her that money, I probably would have been tempted to try my luck at blackjack.

One girl that we met that played with us, Tajal (spelling?), actually played some Texas hold-em and made her money back that she lost at the craps table. So there was one winner out of the group.

Gambling is boring.

I like winning. No grey area thanks. JUST WINNING. Yep. I ALWAYS quit when I'm ahead.

We went to this casino once where they give your like ten bucks in tokens to play if it's your birthday. I got the tokens and was just tempted to walk out...

I'm not very optimistic. And/or deluded. Unlike *some* people like Maverick over here.
