My Super Bowl bets

Oh I gotta find me some of those. I have a whole new load of racquetball friends I can pull that on.?
It was long ago but they looked a lot like the Irish Sweepstakes tickets.
Now scratch offs are big and where can you get them? Amazon of course.

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.

Over the course of the night, the house always wins even if you walk away a winner. People do have to win, or nobody would go.
A few rules when gambling.
Set your budget and stick to it.
Stay inside your comfort zone. Once you get past that, it isn't fun. My comfort zone is $300 a night, between the two of us. I view it as entertainment since I don't go to Vegas all that often anymore. When I first get there I place $300 in to 2-3 envelops, 1 for each night. All betting money comes from the envelope, nothing from the wallet.
At the end of the night, any money left stays in the envelope and doesn't become more money for the next day.
The biggest rule is NEVER try to win back money lost. You can never win your money, you can only win house money, and they win more often.

That's the best rule there is! I'd add two more.
1. If you are on a downer losing streak and it's not fun, then just stop. Go watch a game on the house TV for a couple of hours.
2. Don't drink and bet. It makes you stupid. Drink when you're done betting for the day. "Free" drinks are never free if you are still betting.

My budget for the whole week was like 100 bucks and I don’t think I even spent half that

★ 2. Is the one some people and organizations are worried about with the new state sports wagering the "bar stool betting".
Lose a game and pull out your phone and get to get even or double up and other bad ideas. In one weekend you can lose a fortune.......or several paychecks.
Gambling is fine for those who can handle it but not for compulsive or just plain stupid bettors.

We go to Winstar, the world's largest casino, just across the Oklahoma border. We always get two free nights and my budget is $200 for the two days. I always come back with half or better though last time I came back with a surplus of around $120. And I have a beautiful wooden framed $750 professional photo of the back of Long's Peak with full fall colored aspen in the foreground that I bought for my wife after a trip to Blackhawk. I hit a real royal flush on a quarter machine for $1000. Actually threw away a deuce on the deuces wild machine because I had 4 of the real royal. Queen of Hearts is now my lucky card. Passed up the sure $125 for the deuces wild royal and went for it all.

WinStar is shaped like a giant L with 9 casinos listed by name in a long string. Always best to name a time & place to meet up with the spouse because it could take hours to find each other if we didn't.

I assume it is just north of Dallas, and that Texas has no casinos, and that is why this is such a big ass money grabbing soul sucking venture....for all you DATs to go lose your money there?

The soul sucking for Texans is located in D.C. Just ask our namby pamby senators. Casinos are at least fun to have money lifted from your wallet.?
EDIT: Oklahoma has been stealing our money and our football players for decades. If we didn't allow any to cross the border, they would be bottom tier Little Big 12.

Same with Michigan. Without the Ohioans who went to work or play for the Michigan program they would be on the level of say Indiana. Start with Bo from right here in Barberton

Like I said, whatever the comfort zone and it remains fun.
