That was, I’m assuming, what it was like when Tom Cruise crashed the orgy in eyes wide shut - a place where I was absolutely not supposed to be.

i like blackjack, i don’t bet on sports, because i have my vices pretty much locked in and if i got into sports betting good night nurse, rock a bye baby divorce. no trial separation, no counseling, divorce

Craps is the one game I play, and like you I know my exact limit on vices and right now that’s Diet Coke and beer.

I love craps. However, when I play, I bring $X that I'm willing to "spend" (aka lose) on the entertainment. When it's gone, I'm done. Sometimes, I can get hours of play, and other times I'm done in 20-30 minutes.

exactly, i’m paying for fun, and i have a payment i am willing to fork over. only way to do it.

Only way to do it.

Yup! When you start chasing gambling losses, that's when it gets dangerous. (I also play at the $10 tables, or the cheapest I can find.)

The $2 craps table outside at the Circus Circus used to be lit around 2 am. Been a minute since I was there though

Yeah, I was last in Vegas pre-pandemic. Though Mr. Mouse and I dealt for a craps table at a family birthday party over the past few years. (that was just for chips/fun and not actual cash)

i’ve played about a thousand hours on a blackjack tutorial and it asks you to do some weird shit so i don’t even play at live tables anymore, i find video blackjack and sit by myself. hit three grand last time we were in vegas and got up and said that’s that.

Yup. I play fantasy football and won't go any deeper in the pool than that. Would like to avoid living in a motel room.
