I went to the casino today to play some blackjack. I probably should have stayed home. I dropped around $120 in approximately five minutes. In my first four hands I had three double down hands. Guess how many I hit? ZERO. Not one damn hand. I hit the ATM and managed to salvage most of money but it still bugs me how quickly I lost that first $120. On the way home I thought of a few things I could have bought instead of going to the casino:
- Eighty Chinese dinner combinations - Kung Pao Chicken
- A pair of Nike's new hideous plastic molded hoop shoes
- 90% of my car insurance
- 45% of my rent
- Three boxes of Rogaine
- Rented 30 movies
- A dozen LSU t-shirts to douse with gasoline and burn
- A new dog to replace my quasi-retarded animal
Addendum: I was sitting up last night thinking about how I had won over 100% of my starting money and continued to play. I think that might be my fault. There has to be some type of formula out there for the right time to walk away and at least switch tables. Like anytime you go up 40% of your starting money you get up, pocket the 40% and switch tables. Is there such a success formula?

Is there a success formula? Don't play. Well, unless you are part of the MIT card counting team. That's okay, I gamble too. It's a waste of money, you have to understand that going in, and view it as entertainment.
The MIT teams would not have a chance at the casinos where I live because they all have those continuos shuffle machines.
