My Super Bowl bets
-
I played the slots last night for about an hour and only was down $6.50 when I left. So that’s not so bad Considering I had budgeted about 30 bucks. Expecting to lose that. Extra money buys me lunch
-
I hitch hiked from San Jose Calif. to Las Vegas with $10.00, in 1975 and lost it in the first minute, then hitch hiked back. But, I'm pretty sure I got a coupon for a free continental breakfast, which came in handy.

My wife gave me $20 to bet on her behalf. I am coming home with $89 of her money. Played at the slots at Bally‘s. 25 years ago we came here and she won 1000 bucks. So don’t say that the house always wins. If you’re smart enough to quit while you’re ahead you can win.

Be prepared.....she's going to ask you why you only have $89.00.

I thought about spending it on hookers out here but they want like 2000 to $3000 an hour

That's just the point the house generally wins over time, 365 or 366 days a year, year after year. Same with the lotteries they advertise the payouts to attract more bettors to make even more money.
But some people like your wife are just lucky good for her. Lotteries and casinos are really in the dream business I have a brother in law who with 15 other workers won $734,000 each.....and a few years later GM bought a bunch of them out he got $35,000 cash + a 30 year pension and was only 59. Living the dream.
GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND! -
A couple years ago, my wife bought a couple scratch off lottery tickets....the bingo or word ones, where it takes a half hour to scratch off and see if you won. She asked me to take hers to get her winnings.....she said she thought she won $10.00. I took it and found she won $600.00. Like an idiot, I gave her the money. I should have given her $10.00 and said..."yep...you won 10 bucks".

I know five people who won the Ohio lottery when it was just the Ohio lottery. But we today would call the classic. One of them was Related to someone we all know here.

Speaking of sports gambling do you all win money for participating and winning the games that go on here on the Browns board like the pro pick them or the college pick him or the survivor or the fantasy etc. usually when you play those games you have to pony up some cash to participate. But I don’t think that’s the case here

All of the ones I play here are absolutely FREE. You can get in others online that cost money plus since the state gambling has opened up you can bet all kinds of stuff. In PA you can even but PA state lotteries on the phone or computer.
And for decades I played exclusively with local bookies which I like the best. I don't bet as much now.

There is a very good play money one my son-in-law told me about which I used this year. It's an app for the cell phone called Fun Bet. It allows you to bet games just like Vegas with spreads, over/under, etc. You can do NFL, NCAA, etc. They give you $600 to start with opportunities to add $100 at a time down the road. I started with that and added about $400 for a total start of $1000. I played very well this year from the start of the season and it's worth $7,343 now. I'll hang on to that for next season though I may get tempted with a baseball game now and then.

You probably took a lot of $&@“ for that move, but your wife will never doubt or question you again.

Speaking of dreams I'm watching My Lottery Dream Home on HGTV. Amazing how many people win on scratch offs, the lotteries sell TONS of them.

That's just the point the house generally wins over time, 365 or 366 days a year, year after year. Same with the lotteries they advertise the payouts to attract more bettors to make even more money.
But some people like your wife are just lucky good for her. Lotteries and casinos are really in the dream business I have a brother in law who with 15 other workers won $734,000 each.....and a few years later GM bought a bunch of them out he got $35,000 cash + a 30 year pension and was only 59. Living the dream.

That's the attraction of Mega Millions and Powerball. You're never going to win, but as my brother says, somebody always does.
I always thought I had terrible luck, but no longer. It's too long a story and too late to type it on a tablet.

Best practical joke I ever pulled was buying the winning numbers from the Wed. lottery for the next lottery on Sat. and showing friends my "winning" ticket the next morning matching the published winners in the morning paper. Worked like a charm. Had some good laughs outa that. Only one person figured out what I had done by looking at the date for the drawing, not just the "winning" numbers.?

I do lottery buying on a strict budget no pick 3, 4, 5 except on rare occasions. I only play 1 ticket on the others basically the same numbers every draw.....easy to check.
Your best bang for the buck is the Rolling Five, the jackpots start at $100,000 and roll sometimes quickly to $200,000, $300,000 or more and the odds are only 575,757/1 and not 300,000,000/1.
Yes I watch that show all the time. And it is a lot of scratch off’s but those of the ones you have to pay like 10 and 20 bucks for
I see now they have $30 scratch offs, we've never played one and the wife says they're not always at the Giant Eagle but we might try one at the Lotto Shack. Maybe we will call David to find us our Winter vacation home on TV.

I did that on myself once I wrote down the winning numbers and went back and read my numbers by mistake that I was going to play and called my mother in law and told her we hit big......only to realize that we were poor again.
.
Never did that again.
Way way back I used to play the numbers with my bookie, so much easier you just give him the numbers and let it roll, if you hit $5,000 or more they take 10% and you have no IRS 1099-G to worry about. Well I played 327 straight and box for a year, dropped it, the next day it came out in Ohio the following day in PA, I missed both.
Oh the lottery stories, mainly the one that got away.

An idiot woman who worked for me went to the corner store for lunch, and asked if I wanted any scratch off lottery tickets. I gave her 10 bucks and told her to pick some winners. This was a long time ago, so I think there were only $1.00 tickets. She brought them back and put them on my desk. When I saw them, I scratched them immediately, and lo and behold...a $10k winner! I was strutting around...showing off my winnings...until she said.."Where can you redeem the ticket?". I Iooked on the back, and it said "Redeem at YO' MAMA'S HOUSE!" It was a fake. I wanted to kill her. I'm still laughing g my ass off, though. She played it perfectly.

I had a couple of those joke tickets like the Polish lottery you won $1,000,000.......in small print on the bottom ($1 a year for 1,000,000 years).
