No there is no negative option mad.gif. I do not make ATM runs or anything like that. I bet what I bring and that's it. My track record has been terrible the last 3-4 times out. I'll be playing mostly craps & blackjack, with a little 3 card poker, possibly some let-it-ride, etc etc. If you have any ideas of something new I should try, feel free to suggest. Laberge du Luc (the casino I'm going to) doesn't have poker yet so that's not an option. I will post the honest answer when I return on Sunday.

Thanks! It was mostly dumb luck but hell I'll take it. Was up $300 from blackjack friday night. Went saturday night and dropped $300 pretty quick, so just went walkin around for a while to slow it down. Sat a a wheel of fortune $1 slot (only slot I'll play), popped in $100, 30 mins later pulled $400 out. Figured cool, back up some but it's gettin a little late and my buddy had to get up early, so I went for my traditional "take $100 to the high limit slots before we leave" run. They had a $5 wheel of fortune slot so I hopped on that one, and it just kept payin and payin. I'd say, ok I'll stop if I drop back to $1000, and it'd get up over $2000 so now I'll stop at that, etc etc, finally it dropped back to $4000 on me so I quit. For those who have played that wheel of fortune slot and know what I'm talking about, I got to spin about 20 times in a span of about 30-40 mins.

This is awesome bc I need new tires but now it may be new wheels and tires smile.gif. W/the rest going to help pay off a CC.

Pimp.

Do yourself a favor and blow it all on luxuries. Big screen tv, the best porterhouse in town, new system for your truck, whatever.

Very few times in your life will you effectively be handed $3500 of tax free cash. If you have any concept of budgeting and money management (which I'm sure you do) this is basically "mad" money. It won't hurt you no matter what you blow it on. Treat yourself

Money should be spent in the same way it was earned. If you bust your ass from 8-5 every day your paycheck should go to necessities, then luxuries. If you go to Vegas for a weekend and luck in to $10k of winnings, blow that shit on coke and broads
