I had a good, then bad run with the bookies when I was a young buck and swore off gambling. Fantasy football with the same 12 guys for the last 20 years is what saved me from chasing parlays.

I like to play some blackjack from time to time. 200 is my limit though. My best night was walking out with 8k and I was there for 12 hours (completely spent), my worst nights usually end in an hour or less.

I learned early on to never go with friends because the IOU's begin to mount. I always get a kick out of the commercials depicting a night at the casino as wholesome fun.

I go two or three times a year when I get the itch. The last time I spent more than an hour was three years ago lol.

I won a few poker games in my time too, but I just don't have the patience for it anymore.

If all the degenerate gamblers want to come out of the woods and bet then that's fine with me. I'm a Cook County resident and I'd prefer that my real estate and business taxes at least level out for a bit, if not go down.
