I am in full agreement, and I will not stop, I do win and when I do its like making an Unexpected withdrawal from the bank, You don't leave the balance of your money at the banck you go and periodically make a withdrawal. And the Stock House is still there. better than Merryl Lynch

Yes LadyM, I don't know about you; but I am going to play until it turns around. You know what they say LadyM, the harder you work the luckier you get! The harder you work part, is the part I am not particularly fund of since I am always working, but it is what it is! As for the need forr the cold cash, we all can use it don't we? So Let's play on

If my hopes and dreams die or if I simply lose interest! If I only have a few dollars which seems like alot lately then I stop playing. Nice thing about the lottery is there's always another chance to play

Yes LadyM, I did reply. but wait did I hit post reply?, maybe not. I was saying when I replied to you was this; I am glad to see that I am not the only one who believes that The Lottery Is Not Random, So lets figure this thing out and help all the LP family. Oh boy, that would be something! Imagine every one getting out of the stinking trap at the same time, well you first of course but it would be great!! and yes I just love Rdgrnr, I love his humor and his wit, It's good to have met this man...

Then all the both of you will do (Well not all you will do) but one of the many things you will do, is look at each other and smile-knowing that you made it without the lots and lots of guns, (well maybe one gun. No, 2 guns to help keep the creeps away.) Lets

I did stop regularly playing scratchers and I have completely stopped playing the daily 4.

The amount to win is usually only around $3-5k. And the last time when another set I played came up the amount was only $2k. So with that thought, I would not feel too disappointed if my set came up.

I don't think I would EVER stop playing Fantasy Five or even SLP. Its my only vice. Besides I would spend it on stupid things anyway. I could be a pack a day smoker, talk about a waste of money. wh... [ More ]

The guys at my job spend their disposable cash on golf (plus accessories), strip clubs, motorcycles, new cars, iphones, blu rays, stereo equipment, flat screens, and guns; lots and lots of guns and ammo.

I, on the other hand, don't do any of those things. Aside from playing my games, my only indulgence is to take the wife and kid to dinner 2-3 times a month. Having a lottery ticket in my wallet brings me the kind of joy I imagine they get from those things. It's the thrill of knowing that on... [ More ]

LMAO! Rdgrnr has that effect, doesn't he? I love his outlook, and his posts brighten my day. If you play on jrosina, I'm wishing you all the luck in the world!!!

I'm not going to stop playing either, Rdgrnr, even when I win. It will surely take the pressure off of trying to get a big jackpot, but I will still play for fun, because I enjoy it. I think there's a real system, and the numbers are not truly random. I don't think my brain will rest...it will still keep trying to figure it out.... [ More ]

I am a roving gambler

I gamble all around

Whenever I see a deck of cards

I lay my money down, boy

I lay my money down

I've gambled down in Shreveport

I've gambled out in Spain

I won my first wife shootin' dice

And I lost her in a poker game.

I can't see any reason anybody would want to quit unless it's causing some calamity like a whiskey shortage or something like that. Seriously though, if it's not impacting your life in a negative fashion, why would anybod... [ More ]

Ah Lucky4life, you see I would never buy scratchoffs, it is not my game; nor is lotto I have not lerned this game. But if you know how, I whish you winnings every day.

So winning can be addictive, I don't do too badly, if you look at my preddicions you will see that my pen and paper and handicap tech works for me, In spite of what some say, I still believe the Lottery is not random. And so I win very often. Heres to you Lucky4life, win on

Lucky4Life — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 23:19:56 GMT

I think scratchoffs are harder to stop, espeically if you play them right. For example I spent $80 yesterday and won $150. I took those back, added an extra $20 and won $200. I'm going back tomorrow and buying some more. Good thing I don't live next to the store I buy them from or this might be an all night thing LOL

four4me — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 22:39:04 GMT

I think about it nearly every time i purchase my tickets and then again after i see the draws results. It called gambling. It addictive and it's treatable if you really want to stop.

Ever drank to much booze and said the next day never again, and then that same night or a few nights later drank again.

I never said you, jrosina, was a generate.

I said using the word invest in regards to any form of gambling was a mark of a degenerate gambler, which any GA counselor would tell anyone.

Buono Fortuna

As far as at what point do you stop playing?

Maybe when you ask yourself that very question.

(You as in anyone).

You could probably say this applies to many things, and not just money, also time.

I was having a friendly fire side chat, with Coin Toss about the degenerate players like myself, and began to wonder if I decided to stop could I? or would I even want to! and then I ask myself, why wouldn't I want to. It could have its pluses, I could use the time I spend with pencil and paper and write, or start a childrens school, or do another two laps when I run in the morning! Hhhhmmm! I might be on to something, Thanks coin toss. On the other hand maybe... nah! What about you.
