I’m going to a new casino

Well it’s new for me anyway. It’s Seneca Indian Casino in upstate New York. I’ve never been there but my friend says is fabulous. She asks me to go every time her sister sponsors a bus trip. The last time I told her I would go and it’s already here. We leave Saturday morning at […]

What did I spend so much money on?

I really have no idea. Between payday and today I’ve taken $100 out of my account but I don’t have anything to show for it. I have my regular lunch expenses but I didn’t buy anything else. That money doesn’t include what I spent at the grocery store either. That’s a seperate category all together.
Add […]

I knew I shouldn’t have gone to the casino

Well at least I did my good deed and donated food to the canned food drive. Those were the most expensive vegetables ever though. I spent less than $5 for 5 cans but I gambled way too much money. I lost almost $100. That’s some expensive veggies.
The next time I’ll stick to my plan instead […]

I shouldn’t go to the casino this week

But I know I probably will. I have $20 in free play money which is not a lot. However it’s also the canned food drive this week. Each can is work $5 up to 5 cans or $25. That would give me $45 to play with. I would only take about $20 of my own […]

Bad habits can be expensive

I have several bad habits. I don’t drink or smoke but I do gamble from time to time. That is really a bad habit. In reality I know that I’ll never get out what I put in. I had to actually put myself on a budget and stick close to it. It’s really easy to […]

Did you lose money on the Super Bowl?

I know a lot of people probably did because the Steelers didn’t cover the spread which was 7 points. The final score was 27-23 which was a closer than most people thought. I know people were kicking their tv stands or whatever else they could get close to after the game.
I didn’t bet on the […]

It’s fantasy football time

This is definitely a money-related topic. Even if you get into a league that’s free, most people are playing for money. There are a few people who simply play for bragging rights but most people want the cash. I’ve only been in a league once and I didn’t do so good. I won’t be entering […]

I didn’t hit my football pool

But John did. He won $300 on the final score which was 17-14 Giants over the Patriots. I watched the whole game. John probably watched the last half. When the Giants scored we both started screaming and jumping up and down. Him because he wanted to win the pool, me because I wanted the Giants […]

More gambling on sports

My friend that’s running the football poll is having trouble selling the blocks. So instead of being $20 per block and paying 2 people per quarter (she was paying on the reverse numbers as well), she’s just charging $10 and paying 1 person per quarter. I think the final score would still be worth $500 […]

Gambling on sports

We can’t legally gamble on sports here in PA, but that doesn’t stop people. The Super Bowl is in 2 weeks and you can best believe that there’s gonna be big money bet on that game. We have a football pool that my friend is running that’s $20 a square. The final quarter pays over […]

Pittsburgh is finally getting our casino

The appeals are over and the lawsuits have stopped flying. Ground-breaking is supposed to start with the next 90 days. The casino is not scheduled to open until March or April of 2009 though.
What I’m wondering is whether people will come to the casino. I know people in the Pittsburgh area will. But Washington County […]

Gambling at sports books

I’m glad I don’t live in Las Vegas with sports books because I would probably spend a lot of time there. I would take a lot of the underdog picks because you can bet a little and win a lot.
I’ve been looking at a lot of sports scores lately thinking that I would have totally […]
