ONCE.
When I was still working the overnight shift in radio, I got off work at 5:30am on Super Bowl Sunday and knew I had no chance of seeing my current boy that day, so I called up my best friend and said "Hey, wanna go to Canada?" Completely sleep deprived, we made the 4 hour drive to Niagra Falls in cold-as-hell January weather with just under $40 between the both of us. There wasn't much to do because all the tourism spots were closed, except for the casino. Out of curiosity, we cashed in about $5 and split it. On my first slot, I won $40. I went crazy! I ended up abandoning her in the middle of a casino (because she was bad luck) and getting crazy amounts of free alcohol (I was 19) and cigarettes. Eventually, I won $120 and we went to the Hard Rock Cafe attatched to the casino and ate/drank all of our money. Suddenly, she said "Oh shit... the gas tank is almost empty and we only have $3 left" We cashed in our $3 took $1.50 each and thank GOD she won $36 American and we were able to get home.
I desided I shouldn't gamble anymore because I obviously don't know when to stop....
