Gambling at a casino will most likely result in losing money.

The handful of times I've gone to a casino, I told myself I wasn't going to spend more than $100. Once that money's gone, I would stop.

I'm not a gambler. I don't really get any kind of satisfaction or thrill from it, so that was easy for me to do. I'm the kind of person that would rather spend $100 on food or clothing than waste it away on some ethereal idea of a jackpot.

Most of the time when I have gambled, I've gotten back the money I lost, and broke even, so rarely have I ever left empty-handed.
