[homedawg]

RJP, there are 4 closets full of shoes in this house... + there are shoes in the living room, shoes in the dining room, shoes in the laundry room, shoes in the bedroom, shoes on the back porch, shoes on the front porch, etc.... there are f' shoes everywhere!!!! she dont need shoes... not as bad with the bags, but gettin' bad....:bang:


the lottery is gonna send her check in 2-4 weeks minus 31% :laughing:

all that ****in' money, she has spent on that damn lottery... she finally wins something worthwhile, and they are keepin' 31%?????

she dont understand, the lottery is a ****in' losin' proposition... now she's back to buyin' dem tickets $20.00 at a time again.....($40.00 today)

[yomonte]

HD, get her stoned till she gets paranoid then explain it to her. She'll get it then

[rjp]

Wow, and to think I thought my wife has a spending problem!

Tell her to go buy some damn shoes... or a bag...

[homedawg]

the wifey cut back bigtime, since my last post!
yesterday she spent $1.00 on the megamillions (Estimated Jackpot: $63 million)
.... she ended up with 4 outta 5 (missed 1 number by 1: it was 51 she had 50) and got the mega ball... result: $10,000.00

still not enough to pay for her losses, and now she is probably, going to go back to, $20.00 per day... :bang:

This is the best way to put the lottery on top of all else that was said(im talking scratch offs).

its the only game where you can but $50.00 worth of tickets, win what you do and keep buying. usually will end being the only game where you bet 50.00, win 200.00 and end up with jack **** LOL!

Exactly! :beerbang:

the mindset is, if I have $10.00 to lose on the lottery, and go and buy 10- $1 tickets, If I end up a ahead, I go and buy more, etc.....

Wait a minute, If you are ahead of your investment, then take the money and run!

Betting on sports, you have a 50/50 chance at every game, so when you win, go to another game and you have the 50/50 chance again.

The lottery tickets as JP pointed out:beerbang: has a 1 in 4(minimum) chance of winning, and when you win, at least the next 3 tickets will lose!

Take your winnings and go!

Do ya feel lucky? Then buy 4 lottery tickets, and leave it at that. Cash out your winnings and stop!

Same applys to me, betting on sports (and with much better odds) I maximize the risk I will make on any given day! (based on my last 7days return)

Where the wifey made a turn to the worst, when she started losing $10.00 on the lottery and would invest another $10.00 at the same time, and then start with a $20.00 and go in with another $20.00 etc... :nuts:

Bottom line is, She is so far in debt to the lottery, she would need to win the SUPER LOTTO, to get back ahead... :drunk:

My mom was addicted to those scratch offs.....now we have her just taking day trips with us to Mountaineer Race Track and Gaming Resort every couple of months. She takes $50-100 bucks and plays the quarter slots.....and most of the time she comes home a winner or with at least half of her money left and fun time to show for it....

Mountaineer has gotten better over the years. I have heard more and more people talking about WINNING down there lately. I think they TIGHTENED UP the jackpots when they built the new hotel a few years back and they have slowly LOOSENED em up over the the last year or so ...

Fun going down there on a Saturday night and sitting outside on the patio and watching live racing.

I hate scratchoffs .. I only play 3-digit,and the jackpot games like Cash 5 or Treasure Hunt. Every once in a while i'll box a 4 digit

Scratch offs have the worst odds also....on the back of them in Ohio they list the odds of winning. However, that doesn't say what the odds of winning each prize is. Ask the retailer if you can see that sheet, they all get one. I asked a store owner to see on that had 1:4 odds of winning....the odds of winning a $50 prize were 1:5700, but of course the odds of winning a dollar or a free ticket is a heckuva lot higher like the 1:4. And what do you do with that free ticket or the $1, you roll it right back over......it's better to play the pick 3....better odds of winning and better money!

with that being said i do buy 2 tickets per week for the lotto jackpots, but i never do scratch offs.

Thanks WW:beerbang:

If i make a trip to the grocery store or to a convenience store

The problem is, she makes a trip to the grocery, convenience, gas station, or any store EVERYDAY. She will even make an excuse to go to the store(for the kids, cats, dogs, or something)...
It is different here with the wifey, I have estimated somewhere between $6,000.00-$10,000.00, she has spent on the lottery, in the last year alone.... :nuts:

[homedawg]

Thanks guys:beerbang:

I printed the article(keep it close to her everyday) and showed her this thread after I wrote it, and she has since gone "cold turkey".... I do not have a problem with anyone playin' the lottery, but when it gets to be an everyday losing affair, it is just wrong. I tell her to lay a couple bucks on the Super Lotto, and thats it. If she could win that, then she might be ahead (after many years of playing the lottery) :bang:

I think we had this discussion at the "old place". I never play the lottery, and the only time I do scratch offs is if someone gets them for me as a present.

Oh yeah , i started that thread . I was basically just asking "what games people play" and if anybody has ever hit it big on the lottery.

I personally play the lottery "for fun"

I'm not worried about the "risk vs reward" factor involved one bit ..

If i make a trip to the grocery store or to a convenience store i usually will play 2-5 dollars ... I actually hit the daily about 2 months ago .. Was watching the number come out too that night. PRETTY EXCITING ..

I do not believe in playing 20-40 dollars a day and i do believe that is extremely silly.

I usually play : Cash 5, Mix and Match, and this new game PA LOTTERY has out called Treasure Hunt where the drawing is online everyday (midday drawing)..


Good Luck Homedawg

Do you follow a strict bankroll management system when gambling?? If you do explain that to her and tell her that she can play but also has to adhere to a strict bankroll management system. If she agrees she'll get tired of betting the lottery in a few weeks.
