I learned my lesson with gambling years ago so I don't do it. I was 17 in Las Vegas with about 23 cents in my pocket, dropped a nickle in a slot machine and won $40 right off the bat and thought, THIS IS THE LIFE FOR ME! I gave every penny right back before lunch and tried to leave town with 2 big hound dogs following me everywhere so I decided to hitch hike with them. Just as I was about to get a ride some woman on the other side of the fence at the freeway called to me as her dogs were running towards her and she thanked me profusely for taking care of her dogs and handed me a $50 bill for my troubles.. LOL That actually happened. I haven't placed a bet since. I damned sure ain't gonna start with the Bengals unless I'm hitch hiking out of Las Vegas with a couple of hound dogs.
