I have won more raffles than you can poke a stick at and...
it's not my fault!!! You can almost hear the groan go up when they pull my ticket out of the hat...again!!I have yet to win anything major. I have what I think is an amazing story about "luck" and how one thing followed another and enabled me to help my young friend's daughter who had lymphoma at the time....another tale.
Anyway your current dilema.
You didn't put your ante back thru did you?
Collect your ante when you get ahead, stay ahead of the game if possible. If you lose your original ante...walk on, be strong( sorry to use such a powerful song in a cassino image) no putting that "bit extra" in to see if you can win it back. RESOLVE!!
I only bet small, so only win small....but one of these days!!!!
My dad is a gambler and it upsets my mum. It is bad when that situation happens...but if no one is spending more than they can afford...it's meant to be fun. If you have the personality that becomes addicted......walk away...RUN!!!
We call them "poker" machines in Australia. I think that's funny. Someone should come along regularly and "poke her", I swear some people are grafted to their seat in front of the machines.There is a rather tragic social problem going on here with gambling addicts. The government has stopped licensing any more machines. It means those hoteliers that already own licenses are worth a mint these days. Happy Boyz indeed.
Hmmmm and now to see if my horse is running today....one of these days.
dare I say it?.....good luck
