well the power ball didnt go off so i grabbed another 9 games for $7.25, now the pot is $20 mill. sheesh i tell myself just to grab min entries, believe me id like to see what ive bet won back as a start, nvm the $20 mill. Sure id prefer the $20 mill., but atm just my money back would be a good start.
tks for the encouragement. i gotta slow down tho, and usually i aint this big a gambler.
basically $100 down and it aint even the end of month 1

umm im doing a running total for the year, this is as complete a record on my gambling spending as i have ever done. and there are 2 syndicates im in that i aint including theyd be close to $220 a year between them.

i might do an account at the end of each month so running totals will only last a month. ill prob save ea month to file. id rahter a better hobby, like driving my expensive sports cars, but this is only 1 i can afford at the momemnt.

yeah well i used to think gotta have skin in the game, and i just read colin F's web pages about odds, and wheels, and covering numbers.
it taught me
you know whats the best bet to make on a coin toss?
$1 on heads, $1 on tails, cuz theres %100 return.
it dont make for profitable gambling tho.
if anything it leads me to conclusion i should be betting more money when i do bet to at least make sure i get all 6 numbers.,

as i cant do that ill have to cut back, then im back to square 1
i gotta have skin in the game.
i think feb is going to be a lean month.

hiya savagegoose...yup, walking into a casino and letting money ride on blackjack, poker, or roulette gives you tremendously better odds than lottery.

I do not take big lottery very seriously...casual play, a few token picks, or a minimal set of picks using the entire numberfield.

reminds me of the southpark episode, with the banker ....aaaand its gone.
spent a while hanging around a bar with some people i know and i dint drink so whiled away my money buying keno. and still spent less than them., but i think they had more fun.
edit,
but i bought powerball last week and tecnically its drawn in feb, so if it wins ill add the numbers to januarys total. lol this is still less money than smoking!

i used to be a smoker and a drinker :p but it caught up with me, ohh and a buddy less than 50yo had a heart attack, a bit older than me, but then i figure i aprob aint recovering as easily as him,.
so cut em both
and yeah i look at my months loss, of $3.80 a day and its way less than my old life. this just an excuse to keep tabs on what im spending.

all of the stats show one clear point in relation to the fact that we arent winning; WE ARE NOT SPENDING NEARLY ENOUGH MONEY....lol

arrghh dont say that gmac, i like to think i aint getting the right numbers on the same line is all. cuz i sure am getting all 6 or 5 numbers.

speaking of which, I had all 6 numbers in last nights 649 draw split between the 3 lines I played. ( 2 on each).

Sigh...such is luck.

The play goes on though!
