I could never see myself walking into the casino, racetrack, or sportsbook with my rent money in hand trying to double up. I have 3 accounts. Two checking and a savings. With my main checking account I pay all of my bills. I have a set amount going into my savings, and if I have some extra money that will not hinder my everyday activities I will throw that into my "gambling" account. So when I go to the casino, I am only willing to gamble with what I have in that specific account. Now I wont keep any more then 1k in the gambling account at any time, and even if I have 1k in it that doesn't mean I am willing to gamble with all of it. Yesterday I had around 500 dollars in it, and I took out 300 to gamble with. I won 1300, put my original 300 back into the gambling account, took 800 dollars and paid my January rent(I like to pay me bills in advance ESPECIALLY with gambling money), bought an overpriced Nike AW77 hoody that I would NEVER spend my "own" money on from Eastbay, and put the rest in my checking account. Now if there is a time where I lose all of the money in my gambling account(which happens from time to time), I just won't gamble until I am able to replenish that account without it affecting my every day life. I am honestly borderline addicted to gambling, but I think I am disciplined and responsible enough to not have it affect my every day life. That discipline spills over to the actual game I play (blackjack) which enables me to win more times than I lose anyway.

I wonder what would have happened.

This whole situation was sketch to me. I wonder what would have happened. at the story..there are some friendly people at the table, way too much ayo going on there.I am very superstitious when it comes to playing craps ..beginners, old folks with walkers, women..I will bet big on themI also don't mind tag teaming with the dealer to teach folks how to play when they show up. The biggest problem is when drunk idiots stop by and ruin the flow of the game. I was the Borgata a few weeks ago and this one broad wanted to learn how to play but was constantly interrupting the flow of the game. The dude who was rolling was obviously drunk, but he was rolling for a damn long time and would constantly turn back to give tips. The worst part was when she blurted out "what about 7, why I haven't seen 7 in a while." The dealer yelled at her for a good 2 minutes about etiquette and to never bring those types of comments to the table. It was burned in my brain, I could see everything in slow motion. I kept saying to myself "take your money of the table, take your money off the table." I saw my own fate right before my eyes and duke crapped out.The whole table was livid at that broad.

You got to be consistent with the bets or considerate and leave a dude alone if u see he doin good by himself. Smh..beginners.That kills me, but what REALLY kills me are the people who play 2 hands at a table. Every once in a while they will take a hand out and mess up the flow. There are always going to be losing streaks in blackjack. You just have to "weather the storm" and get threw it. I also hate people who play two hands and take hits based off of both of their hands, instead of playing each hand individually. For instance, if a guy has a 15 on the first hand and a 12 on second hand and he is facing a 10... even though you are supposed to hit on the 15 he will stay because he has a better chance on not busting when hitting on the 12. I HATE thatI might go to the casino this weekend I will update with my results.
