There are certain times when I wish I had someone watching over me all the time. Like when I want to do something stupid. So I figured I'd start this thread so we can talk ourselves out(or press the issue making us want to do it more) of doing stupid things. Here is mine. And I need an answer in a couple of hours.

I want to take 1k to the casino and play nothing but green chips on the craps table($25)

?????

invest that 1k in the stock market or some shit. shit is cheap right now! and if we pull through you will get rich.

also, keep at online poker man. or take that level balance and bring that to the casino and see what you can do with it.

Yea Asemi, I think you underestimate the severity of this. I got a -30% ROI on my 401k. I'm good for now :)

Plus, you have instant RETURN. Unlike with a CD. :) And it's always 1:1 :) Unless you throw the dice and take the odds bet. Then its about 6:7

Edit: I'm on VACATION!!

I don't know, invest in something that isn't gambling! it's 1:1 if you don't immediately start losing :).

Yea that's absurd.

I have decided to hold off for a while. However, this same question will come up sunday.

Gatz, if you really want to get rid of some money, you are more than welcome to donate it to the Becca Travel Fund :)
