Okay, so I want to test my New Years luck.... Played a few hours of poker last night and won $100 bucks.
Now with that $100, DMF, I will let you decide how I can test my luck. I like playing poker purely for fun, so where this $100 takes me, i do not know. What I am interested in is, to have fun and maybe win my money back, but if I loose it all. Its okay
So how do you do this, you guys are asking?
Method 1...
Is just try this online poker games playing cheap 5/10 cent tables and enjoy it for a bit. If luck is on my side, then maybe ill make some money. Either way it's fun, and if I loose it all, okay, its gone. End of that and school starts again. I am decent at poker, and this will be fun, and I'll have a better chance of winning, purely on the fact that I am playing against luck, and betting my skill (which is decent, im no pro, i play for fun pretty often, and im pretty much 50/50 on breaking even or winning anything at all). This is the longest method, but probably the most durated fun.
Method 2...
After looking at the odds of winning anything, I've decide to try my hand at lottery. I dont know which card to play, but which ever it is, i will buy one type of card, and buy it as many times as I can with $100 dollars. So far the best one that looks good is ...
Win for Life $1000. ($2 game card = 50 cards)
Minimum Odds 1/8.47 to get your money back
Overall Odds 1/4.74 to win anything over all
Win for Life $2000 ($5 game card = 20 cards)
$5.00 game Win For Life $2000
Minimum Odds 1/11.59
Overall Odds 1/5.09
Set for Life $5000/wk ($10 game card = 10 cards)
Minimum Odds 1/11.90
Overall Odds 1/3.96
And of course
Loose change ($1.00 game card = 100 cards) Maximum payout $500
Minimum Odds 1/8.59
Overall Odds 1/4.71
Vote! It must be decided by 10pm tonight as that $100 luck will no longer be lucky!
Save for 3 weeks and use it for Atlantic City prostitute.
Odds: 1/3 of getting an STD
how do i know shes a gypsy? and she HAS to be a prostitute right? because if its a regular girl and i dump her, wont she make the beast with two backs me over with even more bad luck?
Donate the $100 to the DMF.

Save t for your next parking ticket.
It'll probably read something like "Parked in multiple spaces" because some asshat knocked your bike over again.
Happy New Year! ;D
In NJ you can go to the lottery website and see how many win for lifes are left out there floating around. You can prob do the same in ny.
If you approach gambling as entertainment, ie. don't need a gamblers anonymous meeting, and know when to walk away, my vote goes to online poker. It'll last onger and give you more enjoyment than scratchoff tickets, and you'll avoid carpal tunnel from all the repetitive motion of scratching which, with your luck, is a distinct possibility.
If you need a GA meeting, go to one tonight, and drop the C-note in the donation bucket.
100-$1 scratch offs just think of all the chances to win another dollar and keep playing i usually hit one in four for a dollar or more [thumbsup]

So......buying $100 worth of scratch tickets and trading them in for, according to your average somewhere between $25-$50.

i was thinking more about investing the money won into more dollar scratch offs, thus increased entertainment value.
plus by like number ten or twelve your hand would be tired so you have multiple days of entertainment [thumbsup]

I passed out last night and did not go to pick up the tickets. but it seems like i should save it for A.C....
Eitherway ,i was going to buy 100 scratch tickets and do it the easy way.... tape them to a smooth woodboard and put my reartire on it then.....burn my clutch out trying to do a burnout on em. ;)
