What a day I had yesterday... and not in the good kinda way....
I went back to the Independent store that sold me the book of $10 holiday gifts, and talked to the owner for a bit. He told me he ordered another book of the game and it would be delivered by UPS today around 2pm. He told me he would hold it for me, if I wanted the entire thing... Which I told him I did.. What was interesting was that he told me "Unlike all the other games, they will only let me order 1 book of Holiday Gifts at a time".... I thought that was a little odd??
So back to my "not good day" yesterday...
I decided to drive around town and check out 7 or so mom and pop stores to see if anyone else had it available... Of the 7, only ONE place had them and this store is actually in the next town over.. Im pretty sure that I have wiped out the supply in Cape Coral on my own! lol...
Anyways, they had 34 left on the roll, and I got excited thinking that someone bought up the first half losers that I have experienced with this roll, so I bought them...
And I was wrong... Here are the results...

I am noticing a trend with these tickets. The Losing tickets seem to be bunched together. As are the winners. Look at these 34 tickets and youll see what I mean.
First 5 were losers
5 out of the next 7 were winners
7 losers in a row followed by a single $10 winner, then 6 more losers in a row, a $30 winner, 3 losers, a $10 winner and then 3 losers to close the roll.
So after this experience, I had the itch to splurge and didnt want to wait until today to get my new Holiday Gifts roll... So, against my better judgement I went to Imokolee last night... 2 hours and $300 less money in my bank account I called it quits and left. Side note - I have gone out there 15 times and have only made money twice. And one of those times, a dealer shorted me a significant amount of money and it took a lawyer, and 5 months for them to pay up. I dont think I will go back....
Anyways, I have a roll waiting for me later today, but im on the fence... I lost $510 yesterday. Id be forced to kick my own a** if I lost another $500 today.. lol..
Anyone in Cape Coral want to split a book?
