That sounds like a very good win / win situation to me, one can only hope.

I think a good win is when I have enough money to take us out to dinner and still have some left over for more gambling.

Any day I can dodge making dinner is a good day.

I have gotten only one reply to this post that interest me, and not saying.

The Lottery slayer.

I have a agenda and hide if you will. I know you are here. I am watching you watching me. I am

leading you by the neck right where I want you. You have swam free long enough and now I have

my hook in your mouth. Oh what a day, when you are pulled from the stream and seen for what

you are. Many will gaze upon you with comtemp and with great bitterness shall they hate you.

You play you... [ More ]

When I was a younger lad, I was a bit of a scraper. I have to say that I ended up on the short end of the

stick many times but never gave up.. Most often by the 3rd or 4th attemp most people figured out winning

did not mean that much to them and avoided me. I learn very quickly. I maybe did not win but I never lost.

I am not talking about money here. When you buy a ticket you have the ticket, and unless you loose the

ticket regardless if it's a winner or not you still have the... [ More ]

Stack47,

Excellent post.

Coin, 4th post thus thread:

Getting back exactly what you played is called breaking even.

Or, did they just break even with getting their money back?

Gambling is usually a series of wins and losses so the only way can you truthfully answer the question did you win is to count your money when you're done. If you have more than when you started, the answer is yes . If you have the same amount or less, the answer is no .

You could buy a $1 pick-5 ticket, catch two numbers, get another ticket in the next drawing, and repeat the process until you lost. After winning 10 times in a row, but losing the last bet, you could optimistically say I won... [ More ]

RL, this is a good thing to touch on. When it comes to lotto games, winning is actually winning as long as a person has matched the numbers for a particular win. The gray area is, after winning, did the person actually make any profit from the win? Or, did they just break even with getting their money back? Maybe, the win didn't offset what they originally invested and they're still in the hole.

Profit is above and beyond what you have invested totally. If I spend $1 dollar per day on $1 scra... [ More ]

even if i could get half the money i spend on tickets back 4eac week, ie lose half my money id see that as winning. because i only payt half the cost of entry as normal if i won nothing.

A win for me is hitting at least 4 numbers on either Superlotto or MM however I will not say I won the lottery. That is reserved for when I hit the jackpot.

If one playes a $1.00 play and hits for a $1.00 return is that winning. Some would say NO,

and others would say YES. I would fall in the yes club because at the very least it allows me

to play again with only $1.00 invested.

I agree. Since you DIDN T lose any money, its not a loss, its a win.

It's not considered a win. I know, millions of people put five quarters in a video poker machine, get a pair of jacks and get paid five quarters and say, I won! I won , but did they?

Along thes lines, one of the biggest beefs we ever had in one casino was in the Keno lounge. This ca... [ More ]

and others would say YES. I would fall in the yes club because at the very least it allows me

to play again with only $1.00 invested. My ticket cost has droped to 50 cents per ticket.

Lets say that I loose on the second try I still only have $1.00 invested in the two tickets that

otherwise would have costed me $2.00. Now from the point of money returned I have lost $1.00
