gambling always makes me feel a bit uneasy. like there's a devil and an angel over each shoulder, you know? and knowing myself, i always tend to listen to the devil, so as long as i stay the hell away from it, then i know im fine ;-)

Kala I exactly know how you feel. I tried to listen to the angel in me but I just had to succumb to temptation.
My best solution so far is to stay away from gambling.
I wont deny it but I do love gambling. That is why it is always smart to leave your ATM and Credit Cards at home while you are in your trip to Vegas. Just to make sure you would be sane when you get home. Gambling is nothing that you should regret. The thrill of winning and the pain of loosing are the emotions that gets you hooked on the game. Not to mention the fact that you are getting wiser or dumber the next round.

This is also one of my major spammer who washed away my bandwith limit in my 'old' blog. I find it strangely funny that you actually indulged online, sure it's nice but it's nothing but dull and boring waste of time and money.
My only vice is buying the Mark Six lottery. Glad you 'called it quits'.
Meliza ahhhh I know better not to awaken the beast inside me when it comes to casino and cards. I stop! :D
K Really? Us naman, we were always "clients" of them due to sprots betting. First time I tried casino online and never again!
charge na lang to experience, duke :) we can't always win in life, but we will always have control over how much we lose by. :)
Gambling becomes more exciting when you're winning. And then you tend to desire for more which in the long run becomes an addiction. When you lose, you gamble more thinking your good fortune will come in time and you are more eager to get your money back.
I know you're not the type of person who will gamble like crazy. It's good that you know when to stop.
hi duke,
please be careful... gambling can be addicting... its easy money if you win... but it could bring you to bankruptcy if you dont know how to control it.
Honestly, I've never gambled more than ten bucks in my life and that's all for fun. I don't know but this is not my obssession whatsoevah!

JO Thanks for the concern. Don't worry. I will never do it again. It was my test of fire.
Jhaya ahhh dear.It's better that way. It's fleeting thrill that is heavy on the pocket!

mrs hekmi ahhh we are in the same league. The best solution for me right now is to stay away from it!
tintin LOL!funny.. funny funny..
Games in casinos are designed in such a way that in the long run, gamblers lose and the house wins. If you're a serius gambler, you should go for cards because while it's a game of chance, strategy plays an important role in winning. Well, playing online was an experience, wasn't it?
err, careful with that girl, that's kinda addicting...good to hear that you had your dose already...charge it to experience hehe
abaniko that is true. The house normally wins.I actaully like the card games more than anything else. It was a joyride until I lost :( enough of it for me!
ana ahhh I can only charge it to experience now.. kahit masakit sa bulsa! waaaaah...don't worry I will never get hooked on it-ever!
Hi, Casino is 500 meters away from where i live. I was like you with square philsophy. But still i have had an experience with it so it is difficult to judge people now, now that i have lived with it.
I will not say no more for me, but i have to learn to be reasonable.Go out with some friend sometime.
