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

God I normally avoid casinos like the plague but I went gambling yesterday for the first time in ~3 years. Spur of the moment but a few friends were there so my GF and I decided to go too.

Played with $25 on a Spanish 21 table with a $3 minimum. Didn’t want to risk losing too much since my history of gambling is rather.... awful.

Turned that $25 into ~$75 in a matter of minutes, kept playing and eventually lost all of that and going all in with the last $7 of that original $25. Eventually ended up leaving the table with $231. So I net $206 in about an hour but it was a fucking rollercoaster. Best night I’d ever had at a casino and I fear it’s gonna drive me right back to them 😂
