Gambling at the track is much better. You know if you won or lost in 2 minutes.
Went to Del Mar Race Track for Simulcast for the Preakness. Dear daughter made $207, she was thrilled.
Went to Santa Anita on Saturday after coming home, I broke even, but spent $150 on food and drinks. But it was entertainment. I bet only on SA and Belmont, too many tracks racing and my ADD just could not do 30 tracks.
But it was fun.
I used to personally play index options on expiration day, that last 30 minutes was like the race track, go go go go go go.
As a professional trader, that adrenaline rush when the market closed didn't quit. So personally became a FOREX trader after the market. I did not want to go home.
I wrote a covered call earlier this year, my first option trades in two decades.
I guess I am getting slow and old, but everyone has their way of thrill.
I used to be an aerobatic pilot, I knew how to make my plane fly backwards, now I cannot get on a roller coaster.
Go figure
