I gave up gambling back when I was a kid. I was in Las Vegas and had about 12¢ in my pocket at the time. I dropped a nickel in a slot machine and won $40 worth of nickels which at the time was illegal because I was underage, but they let me keep it and let me pour all $38.50 back in the slots.. $40 in nickels at the time felt like all the money in the world..I kept a buck and a half for a hamburger and fries then left town with less than 12¢.. That was back in the days when I thought hitch hiking across the country for no other reason for the heck of it was a good idea..
I'm not opposed to gambling by other people, but I don't partake..
