Im gonna write a book, from my experience in offshore gaming and gambling overall, here is an excerpt.
Having a bad day, just need to go somewhere and chill, down to my last $100, should last until friday, should be getting paid then, heck its wednesday. I can put $20 gas in the car, pick up some groceries cook and not eat out. OK, that should leave me with,,,,,,,hhhmmm I got maybe $50 in "emergency" funds.
Why did I drive this way, shit, the casino is on the right, lemme just pop in for a sec, I might get lucky.
Its 4 o clock on wednesday, why all these cars here, dont these people have a job.
Arrh, parking is a bitch, "watch it lady" these damn people not looking where they are walking, ok, got a spot lemme pull in.
"why am I going into this damn casino, shit, I have this conversation with myself a million times, oh well"
The west entrance is the poker entrance, the tables are full with mostly older folks, some sipping coffee, some having a bite, some just look like they are in a daze while watching the dealerdeal the cards.
As I go past the poker tables, I enter the casino floor, and there it is, 15 feet in front of me, THE ROULETTE MACHINE, I have good times and bad times with her, but I really dont like the machine, I prefer the Table, oh well, thats all there is here anyway, so lets play.
"$20, thats all im gonna play" The machine slowly accepts the $20, 80 credits, and the journey begins.
"ok lets see, 22,26,17,28,30,32,0, 14,27, lemme start a little slow here"
After pressing the spin button and the ball drops, 14, got something going here,
after, 4 more turns, im down to 15 credits.
It came black 4 times, it has to be red the next turn, lemme up my bets a bit,,,,,,$40 is put in the machine, and she gladly sucks it in, 160 credits.
"Im gonna bet red on the second and third sections, all red, it must be red"
the spin button is hit, the ball spins, it bobbles and jumps..............its, its, RED...........RED........RED 5.
"what the fuk, I knew it would be red, just thought it would be in the second or third sections, dammit, I knew it, I knew it."
Five minutes later.
"I have $15, In my pocket, Im gonna take the last spin, If I could get up to 200 credits, Im gonna walk away"
Five minutes later, credit is 375 and $15 dollars in my pocket, the decision that flashes in my head. Walk away, thats it, im good.
Play another hand, maybe I can take it to 600, or 1000 credits.
Ten minutes later, walking to my car..
"you dumb mother fukker, dammit, shit, Im not gonna gamble again.....
