Guest guest Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 , do you usually win when you gamble? I've never been to Las Vegas, but I have gambled twice in my lifetime. The first time was in Cherokee, NC, and I lost $10. The second time was on a ship off the coast of Cape Canaveral, Florida. I again lost $10, but I got a free meal in the bargain. I play the nickel machines and the blackjack machines. A big spender I am not! Sue On Jun 8, 2009, at 9:26 PM, wrote: > Since I am an inveterate gambler, I've been to Vegas several times.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 , I have a brother who actually makes his living by gambling. I don't condone it, but then he didn't ask my opinion. He must be pretty good at it, but I worry about his old age security.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 I've run into a few people who claimed that, my father for one. When we found out what the " living " actually was not very many were impressed. Stan Re: [ ] OT-Gambling , I have a brother who actually makes his living by gambling.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Sweet, Sue! I hope your brother is writing a book about his escapades. At one point, I learned how to count cards (blackjack), but playing and counting takes a lot of gambling time and patience (so you don't get caught)..

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 He manages to pay his bills adequately, so I really think he must be good at it. Although he has a college degree in business administration, he's never put it to good use. Right now, he's in a casino in West Virginia, as far as I know. Just as you had no control over your father's gambling, I have no control over my brother's. And I do worry about what he'll do in his old age. I guess he'll have to keep gambling, because he won't be drawing much Social Security.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 He's too busy gambling to write a book, LOL. I think that he is good at keeping up with what cards have been played and reading people's expressions. Since he has no other job, he has lots of time and patience. But one time he and one of my other brothers and my SIL were playing a card game that I don't even remember the name of. I'm not a lucky person at all, so I was not doing very well. But then he said this next hand was going to be for the Championship of the World. And guess who won! Unpredictably, I did. So I'm the Champion of the World in some card game that I had never heard of before and can't remember the name of. Sue On Jun 16, 2009, at 9:25 PM, wrote: > Sweet, Sue!

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 It's good to be Champion of the World, even if you don't know the name of the game, Sue. LOL.
