Gambling
#16
My views on gambling are this. If you do it, it should be done under the following circumstances only:

* For fun, not for profit. If you go to a casino seeking profit over fun, when you lose, you won't be able to shrug it off.
* Since it's for fun, do it somewhere with a little prestige, i.e. a casino.
* Only do it on a rare occasion and set a nice, sensible budget that's affordable on the income you receive (example: $50 only). Keep in mind, this is essentially an entertainment expense. If you can't afford to gamble, then don't.
* Once you blow your budget, do NOT do any further gambling. If you find it too tempting to blow your budget, you shouldn't gamble.
* Only play games that are worth your while. You can play pokies for free online, don't waste your time on this shit. Play a real game, like blackjack or poker, etc.
* DON'T EVER PLAY ROULETTE (or similar games). I went to one casino where they had a hole in the table they pushed the losing chips into, it actually SOUNDED like throwing money away!
