If you couldn't gamble what would you buy?

I probably would have more money in my bank account.

What if

I just posed this question to my old man and found out he hasn't really touched his part of our gambling budget in a few months. He normally plays poker, the long tournaments, as well as the sit an goes. He can play on one deposit forever, some of these tourneys only cost $2.00, as opposed to me who usually goes through mine in a couple of weeks.

He said he is using the saved money to enter the Bengals (I know we suck, but Palmer is looking good and we are the Hard Knock team this year)) second chance season ticket lottery. I may have screwed up the name of it. If he doesn't get tix well just hit a few games with the dough.

I bought 32" sony flat screen on the morning of the 4th of July.
Only because my 14 month old 19" samsung blew the power supply due a lightning storm the night before. So much for the surge protector.

Had it fixed last week for $169.

My friends tell me I would probably be dead if I were unable to gamble for whatever reason. I live in a funny world. Many of my bosses and counterparts detest my gambling habits not that it affected my work. They heard that I play mahjong and bet on horses in the evening and they didnt like me for that sole reason. None of their business but they view me as a beast and believe me, I could have risen through the ranks if they did not brand me as such.

Back on topic, I honestly wouldnt buy anything more if I could not gamble because I dont set a gambling budget for myself. I wouldnt defer any purchases just because I lost more than usual in any given month. That said, my bets, either online or at the races, are only 5% of what it used to be 10 years ago and I earn twice as much now. Go figure. If this question was posed to me 10-15 years ago, I would say my gambling addiction had cost me a house lol.

A few weeks on Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro - recharge batteries and then gamble twice as much as I normally do...probably end up homeless!!

Let's see.... if we take my gambling expenses for the past month and put it back in my pocket.... I would.... get a hair cut? I rarely play anymore. $25 or $50 for 5 minutes of watching wheels spin or VP cards being dealt isn't much fun. So I very rarely do it. Gambling money has always been 'discretionary' money anyway... something I wouldn't use for anything else in particular.

Amazingly enough, pre-UIGEA (when I could actually win) I deposited $100 - $300 a day... and had a pretty constant stream of cashouts going to NT, goodies on my doorstep from Mummy's Gold, screenshots of RFs.... ahhhh... those were the days-- when I never used out of pocket money, and my gambling brought in money .... It was fun while it lasted.

LOL T, I think you may have jumped a few threads here since this is the "If you couldn't gamble what would you buy?" thread...that's cool though..

I haven't been able to gamble for about 3 months now and I'm amazed at how much money I've thrown away. I am catching up on my bills and buying a few things for my place.

I get some free spins from MG casino every week from my past play and it usually amounts to $10 that I can play for real.

That money goes pretty fast and I think If I had been deposting that every week I still wouldnt have won anything. So it kind of makes me feel like i dont want to start up again.
