A mindset that you are GOING to come home with a profit instead of a loss, free play coupon or not, is absolutely necessary if you would rather be in the black instead of the red at the end of every year. But your inability to walk by the craps tables has taken you down many-a-time if I'm not mistaken. Why can't you control that too?

And what's this about being "bored"? You have family, you have friends, you have work....and you're in S. Calif. for goodness sakes! I'm not working, most of my family is far away, and most people who've been our "friends" come and go rapidly in this RV lifestyle....and there's rarely a moment I have nothing to do or get bored. Has gambling action--and the anticipation of such--REALLY overtaken you so completely that it's made you believe normal everyday life is "boring"? I just can't relate to that.
