I have gambled consistently well since my teenage years. I won't say what my net winnings amount to because no one here would believe me if I did. It will suffice for me to say that an accomplished gambler eschews the very idea of luck. I have never bought a lottery ticket, and I never will.

Just out of curiosity, where do you gamble in the Twin Cities area?
Won $4000 on Florida lottery.
$3200 on one armed bandit at Biloxi, Mississippi.
A few door prizes worth several hundred dollars.
A few other things.

Just out of curiosity, where do you gamble in the Twin Cities area?Over the years I'm up over 50K. Here in town I play only in private poker games. Every couple of years (on average) I'll make a large wager on a sporting event. Exploitation of mass popular delusion is the key to selecting these events. I shall say no more.

I once won $1,700 in the Bahamas. I told my wife to buy herself something, thinking she would buy a dress or a piece of jewelry. She bought $1,700 worth of Waterford crystal.
One time driving from Los Angeles, California ........ to .........Salt Lake City, Utah .........I stopped in Mesquite, Nevada ....for fuel. I got out of town in 20 minutes with $30 new bucks in my pocket, a six pack of beer and a BJ .......*S*. Cost me two beers though.
How lucky is that .....???

I lost $30 in the Bahamas - that was enough for me.
I won $10 in the lottery once. That's about it.

I'll bet on an occassional football game and try to beat the spread. So far, I'm ahead, but not by a whole lot.
Never played the lottery. A person has a better chance of being the first paper boy on Mars than winning a cent in sech thangs.

I never really won anything, well all my winnings come from playing poker. I'lll say that playing throughout the years of poker playing I've won about $1000.
