True Story

[Guest082615-1]

A friend of mine was in town over the weekend. He is pretty successful. He likes to gamble, so when he comes to town he stays at the Horseshoe.

I met him there Saturday night, kind of a boys night out. After about 3 hours on the craps tables (I mainly watched--I'm not in his league), he won a little over $10,000.

My friend has no idea I'm in the hobby and I would never tell him. He wouldn't approve and he's good friends with my wife.

When we cashed in his chips, my friend had one hundred $100 dollar bills.

Was I happy for him? You bet, but that wasn't my first thought. When I saw all those Ben Franklins, my first and only thought was "Damn, that's a lot of hobby money" By my count about 40 sessions just laying there in front of me--so close yet so far.

Too bad I didn't win.

LOL, I know exactly what you mean. Years ago when my hobby was sky diving I would live for a month off of a giant jar of peanut butter, and work my ass off doing odd jobs for $5 an hour. 3 hours work = 1 jump

Now that I have a new hobby, and even though I have more disposable income, I still look at it the same way. 2 of my sons old baseball bats sold on ebay = 1 hr of play time

OMG!! Selling the kid's old baseball bats to fund the hobby. I now know we are all truely addicted--lol Way to go Bob!

I hope it doesn't get so bad that we sell the kids to fund the hobby.--lol

Or maybe sell porn filters to all those folks who are afraid their husbands/sons are falling into the pits of Hell? Then use the proceeds as a hobby fund?

LOL
