. I always debated posting any shots as they can send so many different messages via this medium. Perhaps, I was just angry at myself for ever posting a screenshot in my response above but actually I was at peace with your post as it reinforced that I do not need to post shots period anymore irrespective of the unwritten rules. Furthermore, I have never found you to have overstepped any boundaries and apologize for my obnoxious comment. In fact, I really enjoy your posts particularily in wild cards(music,videos,and Brit.comedians).IIRC, what I admire most was a post(s) I read by you regarding gambling addiction and ones loss of self respect. You nailed that. I see some self destructing here versus the hidden agendas of those who enable. Ignorance is bliss.. Sorry to have offended but there is reason to my madness. Best Wishes.

No worries VEGAS.

Yeah, this thread has definitely brought up some mixed emotions.

So if you have a gambling problem you either live with it or seek help. That's it - no bullshit, simple as that.

If you feel guilty about posting in this thread maybe it's a good idea not to visit it for a while. I think I may know where you are coming from though - maybe you are angry at yourself coz you posted here and by the time you posted it you had already blown it - or you look back on the screenshot a few days later and think to yourself why didn't I cash out!?! Heck I have been there loads of times! It happens and I am pretty sure I'm not the only one.

I take it as everytime someone posts a class screenshot that's more money back from those greedy casinos.

Ok - I need to crack open the Pinot Grigio now...

My reply was not based on the above although I realize the context of my reply could have been taken that way when I mentioned your post regarding addiction(iirc) and how I admired the honesty. However, addiction had zero to do with my initial and subsequent responses pursuant to my emotions. I am very blessed as I was able to retire financially secure at 43 and I gamble within my means which is a relative term for each and I do understand the value of dollar(don't know crap bout pounds except I could lose about 5,ok 10). My issue with screenshots as already stated is the medium of posting them can send many different messages based on the wrong perception. On one hand I enjoy participating but do not want for example the perception that Simmo said in a thread debate that screenshots are basically for bragging. Until I read that remark, bragging had never even occured to me pursuant to my previous screenshot posts. Your perception for another example of my initial post was based on I possibly lost the money already and thus the tone,etc. of my response. My response would be the same regardless if I had lost the money based on how I deal with the ups(a nice dopamine rush has been proven) & downs of gambling. In summary,some of my hesitation was about perception versus the enjoyment of participating

. I can still participate without posting screenshots in the future. Life story over and I will join you with a few shots of Jager and keep those screenshots coming.....Good Luck

nash if you are proud of your win, post it. hell in the last three days i would of been proud of a 45 buck win much less a bet.mg has been killing me the last three days. im on vacation at navarre beach and even took wifies laptop to play. the last hour has been a little better. speaking of tunica, went there in march for the kansas concert(great show). hollywood lost my reservation. i almost had a stroke. know how hard it is to get a room on a saturday night. luckily got a room at the ballys motor lodge and wife(who hates gambling) won enough at sams town to get me a new hottub for the patio.(of course i took the money from her). back to hollywood...sorriest customer service i have ever seen. the desk girl did not even offer to help me out. she just looked at me like "why are you still standing there...leave"

Pretty close to going bust here

. So silly...

Wow, $10k win on All Aces. I love that game, but the variance is so high I've only had the balls to play the 50 cent version.

PS. I'm a big fan of Tunica. Unfortunately it's at least 3 hours by air depending on the layover, and you can't fly as cheap any longer. Love the Grand. The Grand Gulfport was my favorite casino of all time. What a loss.
