MY first trip to a Casino was AC on my senior trip in HS. My Uncle took me down (along with my Mom), and on the drive he taught me what I call Uncle Dick's rules of gambling.

1. Don't bet what you can't afford to lose.
2. Don't drink whe you are gambling.
3. If you are not havig fun, QUIT. If you lose it is a matter of luck,
if your having no fun, and still playing, then your a schmuck.

I try to always remember these. On the trip, when we arrived my Mom gave me $50 to gamble on, I found a $2 craps table (we were at Caesars-long ago in a universe far away), ad was holding even. When my mom and ucle along with some others who were on our trip were ready for dinner-we realized we would not all be able to sit at the same table at the Japanese Steakhouse. I wanted to stay at the casino, so I bowed out-she gave me 10 bucks for diner, and I hit the tables where I promptly foud myself down to my dinner money. But knowing that My Gradma would feed me when we got home, I began betting dinner, ad got hot, real hot. I did ed up eating at the Playboy, rode in a Limo, all cool stuff for a senior in HS. When the group arrived back at the casino, I was up a few thousand, and the shooter rolled a seven out as she arrived. She got ito the game and I continued to win. My final total was over 4K (ad my Mom made me pay her the 50 bucks I started with back.

My fav part, was when spring break was over, I had a better story than the guys who went to Florida and got drunk for a week. Maybe it is a good thing we raised the drinking age to 21 nationwide. ps- the nuns were not happy about me carrying a wad of cash at school.
