It's funny that you say that because I've talked to some people who like to gamble and they've said some of the craziest things like even if they had a 100% chance of losing, they'd still gamble, that they're not gambling to actually earn money. So for some people, they don't actually gamble to make money or have money but because of something else like the excitement or the atmosphere.

I turned $40 bux into $18000 a few weeks back. I got this email inviting me to get a 200% bonus on any deposit of $25 or more. I was bored, so I thought ok. This was an online casino, btw. Prior to this I did a bit of research to find reviews on this particular casino, mainly just to make sure they weren't rogues. Seems they had good ratings so I made my deposit.
The terms of the deal were: Must play thru 20 x deposit + bonus before eligible for cashing out. So, off I go play with $120, betting 75c per spin. I was about $15 down when suddenly I got a free spin bonus round of 14 free spins. On the 7th spin all these T-Rex images popped up on the screen and my bankroll raced to over $700! Cool..cash out now, I thought. Nope, I still have almost $2400 in playthru I have to make before I can cash out anything and my bankroll must be able to survive thru this to have anything left. I cranked up the bet to $2.50 with $700 left. It spun and spun and took me down to $460!!! I was thinking that at $400 I would lower the bet back down to 75c. Never got there. I hit a bonus round again giving me 9 free spins and on the 3rd spin it retriggered the bonus again and gave me 24 more spins. Somewhere along the 21st spin, I had another screen filled with T-Rex's. Shit! $5675!!!!!
Now I'm over $6000! I go into the cashier and check and I still have over $2000 in playthru to make. Anyway, so it goes, I play all the next day on and off and I am down to $1365. Machine has been very dry and I just figured it was systematically working on taking the money back. I have no met the wagering requirements and am contemplating just playing and cashing out when I get down to $1200. No such luck! I got another bonus round after a long, long dry spell. Again, hit a bunch of T-Rexs and I win $4800. This is nuts! Should I walk now, or should I keep trying to hit the random Jackpot? Yes, random jack pot. The machine also has a random jackpot which can go off at any time. It was at $12225. At this time I have $6000 and am contemplating cashing out at $5000. That would be totally satisfying for having only invested $120, so that is what I intend to do.
I set the machine to autoplay with it set to stop when balance reaches $5000. I go make a sandwich and sit in front of the computer letting the reels spin to determine my fate. It's not looking like I am going to get anymore ahead. I go to live chat and contact a CSR to fing out what I need to get my money wired to me. As I am chatting with this laday, while the reels are still spinning, I hit the random jackpot. She is congratulating me on winning my winnings when I typed in Oh Shit! She askes whats wrong? I said while I was chatting with you I just hit the random jackpot! :shocked:
Anyway, my balance was over $18000 and at 18k even I cashed out and had the money in my account within 5 days. I will never do that again. I hated the feeling of the knots my stomach went thru with all that anticipation, wondering if I would really get this money. I'm sure this happening to me was way against the odds and I'm gonna quit while ahead. 🙂
