If you couldn't gamble what would you buy?

I thought this could be an interesting thread to see what people would do with their gambling money.

Pretend your internet wouldn't work for a few weeks or a month, or your computer crashed, or your significant other said "hey, take a few weeks off"

Honestly....What would you do with the money you spend on gambling?


For me I am using part of my gambling money this coming month, I am buying something from Bed Bath & Beyond (men might not want to read further, lol)

They have an 11 piece "dorm room set" No I don't go to college or have children that live in a dorm, but it's a hell of a deal and I'm buying it. Gambling will have to take a hit this month. For twin size $79.99 you get comforter, sheet set, pillow, sham, fleece throw, 2 towels, hamper, and dry erase board. I just cannot pass it up!!! (they also have full and queen sizes, I might buy one of each)


Who's next? You can't gamble for a few weeks or month, what are you doing with that money?

If my computer was down and I can't gamble online.
I would Open my door from my house and get into a Bus or Car and drive 45 mins to Mohegan Sun Casino or 1 hour to Foxwoods Resort Casino
If I don't want to gamble at all for the next 2,3,4 months I would just get extra things I need for around the house.
I say to all if you do gamble just gamble what you can afford.

If I couldn't gamble I would buy LESS than I can when I do gamble!

I wouldnt ever deposit and play amounts that could significantly change my financial situation. I rather lowroll and then I can gamble and still buy everything i would have bought if I hadnt played.

I would use the casino money for poker.

We all agree poker is a game of skill right so that does not count as gambling eh??

I think I would upgrade my slightly outdated cell phone. However, that BB&B deal is a good one

Right now as it stands after my major puter crash last weekend, I can only get some of my casinos downloaded. So as I read this im thinking to myself, jump in car there are a few casinos only a couple of hours away from me.
As far as spending what I would not gamble on line. I have only done that once.
I make sure mortgage bills food, dogs are well kept, send money off to kids.
Then the rest is put into a fund for me to do what i like with.
From my wins in the past month I have purchased a new car, tv video gaming,
and a few other things. I think this would be less as I like to as soon as I do win buy something to show what I got, rather then funds back into another casino account.

You know, I haven't really kept track of what I've spent in the last 5 years of online gambling, but I'm sure a large chunk of my mortgage would be paid off if I had never started.

Thankfully something clicked in my gambling fogged brain last month and told me enough is enough. Life is sweeter now. My hubby and I will still go to a land based casino 2 or 3 times a year on special occasions.

I still like coming here to see some of those amazing winning screenshots. But oddly enough, I don't get the urge anymore to make a deposit after seeing them. I sure hope it lasts.

A new car!!!

How much did you win in the past month if you don't mind me asking? (don't answer if you don't want)
