That's what's nice about betting/ gambling in your underwear on the computer, topgame.
You can bet one horse and walk away win or lose. If you're at the track/ casino it makes it hard
to walk away.

I like going to the casino by myself. I usually hit my goal within 20 minutes and run the hell out.
When my wife/ inlaws goes with, I have to wait on her/ them. My wife goes broke in 10 mins,
borrows money from me, but I can't count the times I've given her money and she comes back
with hundreds, 1,000 or more. I guess my money is luckier than her's.

Going to the casino alone - Acceptable.
Going to the movies alone - Kill yourself if you always do this shit. You fukked up lonely shit.

[jjgold]

I only go to sex movies alone, no one brings people because we do not want anyone we know to see us or see what we do

I went last week and sat in the back and smoked pot and watch porn on a big movie screen

Every fukkin guy was bald or horse shoe look

Fukkin killers

[raydog]

haha...have a few of those shitholes around town here...went once about 10yrs ago with some strippers that thought it would be fun to check out...fukking disgusting dump...

nothing wrong with a little ME time at an afternoon movie by yourself once in a while...i will go when i have a few hours to kill and there is something i really want to see, but know my broad doesnt cares nothing about... nobody talking and laughing and best of all, no cell phones going off the entire fukking time

This is a confidence question.

You do what you want. Pay your bills, don't get arrested and don't care what others think except for the fairer gender if you are trying not to be alone.

About it, gl.

i live 15 minutes from foxwoods...

Where you at? Old Saybrook?

[bracerman]

Depends on the situation. If I wanna go make some money playing poker, definitely by myself. Hate having to worry about the wife wanting to leave or friends needing to borrow money. At the same time it's great to go with a bunch of people as long as you're not planning on not taking it seriously and expect to drop some coin.

Copied from a horse gambling forum I read but apples to this question as well, cite #5 for your answer.

These are some betting/discipline rules that I enforce in my own play.

Some of them are obvious, and some may not be; I swear by all of them...and they have made a big difference in my play.

I pass them on to you, hoping that they may be of some use...and -- if you are so inclined -- I would ask that you add some of your own...


1.) LEARN TO PASS RACES...LOTS OF THEM.
Most races don't deserve to be played. If you spot overlays in almost every race you see...then you are playing this game wrong.

2.) BECOME A SPECIALIST.
The best thing about full-card simulcasting is that we can bet on our favorite types of races...and still get all the action we can handle.

3.) DON'T KEEP SCORE BY THE DAY.
Even the best horseplayers have more losing days than winning ones. Don't make a bad day worse by trying to get even.

4.) DISCIPLINE...DISCIPLINE...DISCIPLINE.
Lack of discipline has kept some of the brightest handicappers in this game BROKE...for MANY years. At the end of the day's play ask yourself THIS question:

"Did I do exactly what I planned to do today...or did I let my emotions affect my play?"

If you didn't keep to your gameplan, then the day was a FAILURE...even if you won.

5.) IF YOU TAKE BETTING SERIOUSLY...GAMBLE ALONE.
Tom Ainslie said it best:

"Winning horseplaying is a solitary activity; the more social it gets, the less profitable it becomes."

Pittsburg Phil never bet a dime when he had friends accompany him at the track.

If you consider yourself to be a better player than Tom Ainslie and Pittsburg Phil...then feel free to disregard this advice.

6.) SET A PREDETERMINED LIMIT TO THE AMOUNT YOU ARE WILLING TO LOSE IN ANY ONE RACE...AND STICK TO IT.
Don't get into the habit of "loading up" on the "sure things". The name of the game is limiting your risk. It sounds easy...but it took me 20 years to learn.

7.) KEEP A BETTING DIARY.
Not only to record your plays, but also to write down any thoughts or opinions about your play during the course of the day.

Our memory is not to be trusted.

8.) AVOID TURF PARADISE LIKE THE PLAGUE.
Trust me on this one...

#1 is telling you that you should not bet on every single race. Be selective and not a degenerate. #8 is referring to a specific race track (Turf Paradise) -- so do not bet on any horse races run at Turf Paradise.

[thetrinity]

always go to the casino by yourself. the one place you definitely should go by yourself.

[2daBank]

ive always done much better at the casino alone, much easier to walk away when you are ready...

[Dutch]

If you want to fuk around, drink, play some slots..Go with friends.

If you want to play poker, blackjack etc..Go by yourself.
