    He’s an accountant now, so I assume he learned an important lesson about gambling that day.

    Or it fully broke his spirit…

      Why not both?

      I’ve never been a gambler because I’ve only ever lost. I’d say I’m down ~$30 in the last 30 years.

        I’m not really a gambler either. I’ve been to the casino a few times in my 20s with friends, but either for one of their birthdays or they were celebrating something. I only ever brought like $50 to drink with and another $50 to play with, knowing full well the most enjoyment of that hundo I was getting was the beers.

        I did however win exactly once. Turned my last $10 of the 50 into $900. And that was also the last time I ever gambled.

          I did once have someone give me a roll of quarters and I walked out with $70. I figured the only reason I won was because it wasn’t my money.

            I mean, that’s pretty sweet!

            It’s like me and lotto tickets. If I buy one, I lose every time. If someone buys me one I win either a free play or the value of the ticket…then lose on the free play
