    My First Big Win!
    Went to bet horses at Pocono Downs and played slots for an hour. After 30 minutes I decide to play 26 cent Wheel of Fortune. I played at one machine then moved to the next. After that machine I moved over. After going through $60 without anything I hit for $31,000. The funny thing is it didn't faze me. A lot of people were excited but I was cool as a cucumber. The funny thing is I'm going to pay off a lot of bills then I'll have enough to pay my truck off and get a flat screen. I want to get the money out so I'm not tempted to blow it. I want to make it seem like I never won yet get some burdens off my back.


    What burns my ass is I tipped two slot attendants $100 EACH and a security guard $20 since they walked me out to my truck. Call me cheap but I could have used that for better reasons.

                I agree w/ you 100%. I told my wife at first I only won $20,000, but I showed her the tax ticket w/ the amount. The cash will be all gone after the bills. I will make out w/ about
                $2,000 to play w/ and a new flat screen. The rest will be used to pay the fricken bills. I thought about masking the amount but I showed her to set me straight and not **** things up. Helll I would have liked to throw $10 g's on the SB.

                    Dude, never tell the wife how much you win. It will bite you in the ass. I only report 10% of my winnings to wife and none of my losses.

                    Gongrats and make good use of the money like paying bills.

                          Thanks all. The funny thing is I had a plan. My plan was to play each Wheel of Fortunr game in the row (4) until I got one of the blasted bonus spins. When I got to the second machine I started sweating this guy who jumped on the machine next to me. he left and I jumped on a few minutes later.
                          In this case I had to tell my wife what was won just so I wouldn't f up. To me it is almost like a furlough. Money in, money out. Just like I only won a few thousand. It may suck in a couple of weeks but many bills will be paid. The sad thing is that this is probably only 1/10th of my gambling loses in my life.

                                              All i know is I've never won money on slots... Ever... So I sort stop playing them.

                                              Although I'd like to win a nice amount something like 10k, enough to get walked out to my vehicle and as I'm going. I'd insert making fun of the grandparents gambling there SS checks away...

                                              I'm a mean prick.

                                                      Nice hit rob.

                                                      You made the right choice by paying off some things. You will definitely reap the benefit of not having as much debt.

                                                      Also, I think telling your wife was the right thing too. I tell my fiance everything. She knows what I do and it makes the relationship(8 years) better every day.

                                                      Since you told her about your winnings, she probably wont mind you gambling in the future. Hope you keep winning!

                                                      CONGRATULATIONS

                                                                Congrats on the win! Nice to see someone make a score from a bandit.

                                                                If I were you I'd make sure I NEVER put another nickel into a slot machine, EVER! At least that way you can say your "UP" on your slots gambling (even though you may be down in your total gambling career). Staying away might be more difficult now that you've had a taste of a big payoff. I wish you the best of luck.

Fvck em 100.00 is beautiful. if they don't like it try borrowing 10.00 from the same fvck head when your tapped out. see how much they remember your generosity. Congrats bro nice hit!!
