My gambling diary for July.

[chayton]

July 1st
Don't have much money this month to play with so have to play it smart. I have $150 in the bank to play with...but let's take it easy...no big bets. Don't spend it all in one place...

July 2nd
$25 deposit at one MG...not a hint of a win. Let's do another one. Crap. Ok one more...
BAH...let's try an RTG. What's with this spinning jackpot meter? Every time it starts spinning so fast it's bogging down the casino. It's driving me bonkers. I can't stand this, let's just bump up my bet and get it over with. Crap.
Hmmm....there's a different MG, maybe they'll be better.
Crap.

July 3rd
No money to play, maybe I can win a tournament. Here's one....$75 top prize...wait, it has 200 continues at $2 each. Oh well maybe I'll get lucky. Nope.

July 15th
Playing tournaments for the last couple of weeks and I finally won $30 yay! It lasted 10 minutes. Sigh.

July 18th
Woohoo, I got an email that I got $25 free from an MG. But wait, I go to my account and there's nothing. What the...? Send a mail to support. Get a mail back that they're forwarding it to the 'correct department.'

July 20th
Cool, just got some money....I get to play again! But remember what happened at the beginning of the month - if the casinos aren't paying then quit feeding them.

July 21st
Crap.

July 22nd
I came in #1 on a tournament - yay! Top prize is $150...there's only a few hours left. (Later) Crap. I got bumped to #13....the tourney pays the top 10.

July 23rd
Yay I won entry into a big fat tournament that starts today! I'm playing now...but wait a minute...the reels are spinning and spinning...ack - it's STUCK! Quick, quit the tourney...but now I can't log back in! oh no...my time is dwindling....exit the casino, log back in...click "my tournaments" - what the...? Now it says I'm not registered. Grrrr, I can't believe this. Write a mail to support to complain. They write back "sorry we can't do anything about connection errors." sigh.

July 25th
Woohoo I got a letter in the mail with a $25 freebie from an RTG. Maybe my luck is going to change...
(10 minutes later) Nope.

July 28th
I got an email from that same MG casino - again telling me that I got $25 free. Log in and there's still nothing. I send the mail to support and this time they don't even respond.

July 29th
Played an Avalon tourney - got free spins, then got free spins again and was retriggered THREE times! Woohoo, right? But I still didn't make it into the top 100.

Seriously though...I hope August is better.

OMG!!!! This is classic....I LOVE IT!!! Thank you so much for sharing your gambling diary. :clap:

I can so relate, as I'm sure many others can also.

Nice diary!

This one is a classic. Everytime I do really well in a tournament it's one of those where there is no rebuy and 999 continues ... or only top 5 is paid..

Seriously though...I hope August is better.

It will definately. I want to read you gambling diary in the end of August.

I want to read you gambling diary in the end of August.

lol...Aug 7 - I won the mega moolah jackpot! Wouldn't that be sweet?

Seriously though, I'm being funny with the diary thing, but all of that stuff really did happen over the last little while. Weird how you get on these streaks where it seems like no matter what you do - or where you play - or what you play, you can't win. Last summer was the same for me.

But what can I do...I still need to play, whether I win or lose. It's just that when I win, I get my gambling account stocked up so can play more. When I keep losing I have to stick to my gambling budget. And I usually blow through that the first day!

Isn't it nice we can laugh about it? I am almost certain that I have certain lucky days during the month since I've won on them more than any others but this year I can't even get my budget past the first one and it's the 3rd day of the month!
great post

ok i take back July 31...deposited $15 at iNetBet got it up to over $100 (no bonus) cashed out $100. Used my remaining money in QT at a MG and 3Dice, gone within minutes...went back and reversed the $100 played for hours, got down to under $10, back up to $100, played hours and finally busted out. I know people will say but you were up $85, but I haven't had so much fun in such a long time, I just wanted to play. I think it was on and off from 5pm-1am. I even sent iNetBet an email saying how much fun I had.

So true...

I have had 18 months just like that!
Crazy aren't we? Had 2 Cash outs in July at least.
Gotta go now - A machine fullamoney's waiting for me to get back.
Just had to add my three cents worth.
Loved your report mate!

Keep us all posted?

Hey cool, I did almost the exact same thing yesterday with MY $15 deposit - except I didn't withdraw and reverse, I just kept playing - it's the first time in ages I've gotten any kind of playtime at any RTG. I was down once to $2 and I thought I'd just finish it up, I was still betting $1 a spin and hit the feature on Sunken Treasure and it put me up around $100 again.

I totally agree, it's fun when that happens. Even if you don't cash out.
