confession of a gambler..

My weakness is poker which I'm really not so great at. I don't have to guts to wait for good cards. Then I start to do Gus Hansen style which is kind of suicide for players who really don't know what they are doing 
Well, there's bright side too. I'm very good at calculating odds and very good at sportbook betting.

As if I need to prove my own post, I played last night...KasinoKing said:Weak points;
I stupidly keep going back to games I just know are gonna take the pee (and my dosh) while laughing in my face:- Bejeweled, Let 'em Ride, Thunderstuck, MG's PaiGow, Lucky Lady, Inter's Pontoon, MG's UK Fruities...
ThunderStuck:
177 spins to get 3 goats - paid 24x cost of the triggering spin.
Then switched to Tomb Raider:-
Just 2 spins - 3 Idol; x11.6
5 more spins - 3 Lara; x15
4 more spins - 3 Lara; x26
7 more spins - 3 Idol; x12.5
Then 25 spins of nothing. Finished nicely ahead - not huge, but soooo much better to start well, than start with SFA which is what I always seem to get from the Norseman.
{Edit} While I was typing that ^ I was playing Ladies Nite:
Spin 136 (spot on que!) I get 3 Scatters; in the first 15 spins I get 3 Scatters again - TWICE!
Total payout = 168 x my bet.
Anyone know how to erase all copies of Thunderstuck from my hard-drive???

Hot damn! I did it again!! 
Played ThunderStuck at Ladbrokes for their latest ScratchCard promo (wager 100 & get a scratchcard)...
254 spins to find the goats - only 27 x bet won.
Then another 233 spins to get it again - thought I was going to get diddly-squat until last spin gave 2 Horns with 2 thors... total 54 x bet.
Just hope I get a decent scratchcard - seems to be the only chance of winning with this slot..

Don't feel bad.. there was a period of time when I would drive to a neighboring state at least 2 or 3 nights a week to a casino...one time, I knew I only had enough for the toll to make it home, and spent that...I left the casino and pulled over to search the car for change, a tow truck driver came up to me and asked if everything was OK, I explained (feeling like an idiot), and he laughed and voluntarily gave me money for toll and told me to buy myself a coffee (was that symbolic for "WAKE UP!!!"??)

Like you Kasinoking, I too am having a baron spell with the once mighty Thunderstruck! Took me 450 spins the other day to get those goats.
Spring break I have always found more reliable, like getting 45 spins earlier this week, pity I only had it on 45p typical!
For slots my weak points: I hang around too long waiting for the features that never come in time!
Strong points: I steer clear of Loaded and Isis!
