Speaking as possibly the worst gambler in the world, no

While we're on the subject, here's one of my favorite Las Vegas stories of all time:

The Desert Inn was famous for having hi rollers and had a special room just for them to enjoy gambling.

A Texas millionaire was getting irritated by an Australian guy playing at a table next to him who was getting pretty rowdy.

So after exchanging a few choice words, the Texan said, "Do you know who I am? I'm worth $10 million dollars!"

The Australian happened to be Kerry Packer, a multi-billionaire. Packer replied, "I'll flip you for it."

Not only would I not have the guts to do that, I would have the good sense not to.

Growing up in Vegas, I learned quickly that there was a reason casinos stayed in business.

My dad told me never to trust something that had one arm and its back against the wall. And I listened. I stayed away from those one-armed bandits.

I have to admit when I had some spare money before I got sick the wife and I would make the 5 hour drive to Atlantic City and spend a few hours.
It was mostly spent doing slots,but we also always went with a preset amount with the mindset that it was lost money already.In other words we went just to have fun,not to expect to win anything or come home with anything extra.

I think I'd have the guts to do it, but then again I have quite a few years left to get back on track.
