    I think it's much easier to lose a ton online than in real-life
    Going to Vegas last 4 days I was thinkin man what if I go nuts and blow my whole roll, ya know have a mental breakdown and get on a losing streak and start tryin to chase it all back and go broke, but..... truth is it's much easier to maintain MM in Vegas for me than online. Number one is that when you give the ppl your money like placing even a medium sized bet in Vegas (I bet 280/200 on Texas which lost of course) the girl gives you a look like you're a degenerate gambler fixin to blow every cent he's got and you have to physically count out 20 40 60 80 100 120 140, etc. which is a very real feeling that what you are betting is not just an "account balance" at a sportsbook but in fact real dollars. Same deal with me in blackjack which even though I managed to win at this week I always had that feeling of having to go through a whole ordeal to change my cash into chips and watching my cash get pushed into that hole that it kept me from going nuts. There are times in online sports gambling that you see 600 account balance and you think fuk even if I cash out it's gonna be 2 months before matchy gets my check to me, so I'm not even going to miss the money for 2 months if it loses, fuk it all in and either double me up or make me take a break from gambling. Anyway that's my opinion, that online casinos/sportsbooks benefit from the incredible time period/difficulty/expense it takes to get your money and also the ease at which you just place a bet between you and the computer with no one to give you a "look" or yell CHANGIN 100 everytime you want to make a bet

        I am not a slots player, I just never have been that retarded I guess, I never have played lotto either. But I realize that most of the money that the casino makes is off the slots and I would have to say it is probably much EASIER to lose your money on real slots in Vegas than on online casino slots b/c first off it is just you and the machine anyway (no "are you sure you know what you're doing" look no yelling changing this suckers money into dust over and over when you're losing) and I would say a real slot machine is much more attractive and entertaining than a video game program on your computer. This is just my personal experience from the Fri-Mon in Vegas, this may not be the same experience for everyone and it's certainly possible to lose a ton of money in Vegas on table games, but in my opinion it's much easier to lose control in online casinos/sportsbooks

          The last matchbook check I received took 1 day aka 24 hours from request to it being on my doorstep. This was 2 weeks to a month ago.
