How Do You See Gambling as Entertainment or Bad Habit?

One of my favorite past times is gambling. Not just any kind of gambling but slot machines, specifically. When I head out to a casino I have a plan, I only bring only the cash I can afford to lose with me. I’ve always looked at gambling as a form of entertainment, not income. So with this outlook if I win peachy, and if I lose no big deal. I probably would have wasted money on restaurants or a night out drinking and not had half the fun.

The way to approach gambling is to expect to lose, and be happy when you do hit it big. I remember a few years back getting ready to leave the casino and all I had was about 5 bucks left in my pocket, I dropped it in to a slot machine, placed the max bet and ended up hitting $210. That was pretty exciting considering my friend that was with me told me to save the $5. It was a measly $5 to me, but it was sure nice walking out with a wad of cash. But that just goes to speak for my attitude in approaching gambling, I expected to lose the money but when I hit I was really happy.

However, from time to time you may want to gamble but not spend the money to drive to the casino to gamble and pay for drinks, and then worry about drinking and driving back home. One simple way to avoid that is to take advantage of the online world of casinos.

The internet age is upon as, allowing us to lounge around in the comfort of our own home, in our undies if we want, sipping drinks as stiff as we want them, while playing online slots or many other games like poker and such. One of my favorite online slots is the King Kong slot. While US residents can unfortunately not participate, almost every other country around the world allows you to do what you want. In theory, by staying home you can save a bunch of money and avoid potential trouble with the law, all while doing what you want.

Remember my advice though, earmark what you are conformable to lose, and stop when the money is gone. Determine a winning amount that you’ll get up and keep and cease gambling. If you bring $100, maybe you’ll stop if you double or triple your money. If you have no end in sight, chances are you will throw all your winnings back to the casino. If you have a gambling problem, get help! Gambling should only be another form of entertainment! Good luck!
