I consider my measely P-3 losses as money inserted into a piggy bank, and then I break the ceramic structure by winning and just getting back my loss. lol

Until I find that golden Egg, which i will, it's just a savings account with no interest.

EVOLUTION AND TAKING RISKS TO SURVIVE.

You can just quit, but I wouldn't bet on it.

You're right, they are way ahead of you on the lines, the lines are strategically based to guarantee the bookies a profit on the vig. Even before there were computers, they had it worked out as to how to balance the books to guarantee a profit, there's just too much of a margin. Also you aren't disciplined enough, even if you knew the exact probabilities you can over bet and run expectations in your f... [ More ]

rdgrnr,

I am not clever enough to know how to get in illegally to the United States..

The only way I know of to go there so far is by showing a passport to cross the border from Canada into the U.S.. Whether it is by car, bus, plane..

And I see the candidates on television all the time and would love to vote over there.

Till then, I think of the U S from afar

You don't need a passport to come to the States. Just come in illegally and we'll give you a drivers license, food stamps, a welfare check, free education, free healthcare and free section 8 housing. All we ask in return is that you vote a certain way a few times in each election. Don't worry, no Voter ID is necessary.

I play the lottery to get the money to save towards moving which I hope to do before summer is over and towards getting a passport so that I can travel..

Also working at a job is not always enough to buy what we want or need, so the lottery is a nice supplement to your life

the problem with this is one can't forsee if or how much they will hit in a years time.Even when I go on my long losing streaks,it is never anticipated.

The notion of' I should have saved 'is a little after the fact.

At any rate I personally don't gamble for profit,it is meant for amusement purposes only.The bottom line being don't piss away what you can't afford to lose.

This country was built on the backs of risk-takers. Some of them succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. The rest while they may have failed at least tried. And not only tried, but tried hard, with conviction.

Whenever we celebrate the winners let us remember not to condemn the losers. Let us be fair because life is not.

I feel that way about starbucks. I still drink their coffee but got tired of waiting in line and now I buy the ground coffee at the grocery store (on sale)...the verona blond mix is so mild and good! I know this covers my tickets with room to spare. I almost never drive my car to work (unless I work a rare Saturday) and the metro saves my money and parking fees and wear and tear on my car. People in my office pay over $230 a month to park in the garage...not me

I do both, Not just a savings or our 401k's, but we don't waste food, electricity, heating , water, there are also ways to save on groceries, I can make a dollar go far, so my little 3 digit money is in the budget.

I have been saving my lotto money for many years now. Here's why.

While filling out a playslip many years ago I wondered if I were marking previously drawn numbers. If I were, then I felt as if I was wasting a dollar. So I contacted the State in which I was playing and recieved their list of previous numbers.

Or you could play a pick-4 game $5 straight and almost win enough money to pay cash for a new car. Don't you think many lottery players invest at least $50 a week in 401-Ks, IRAs, and retirement savings plans and still play lottery games
