My account is up to about $500 now....which is prob close to what I've deposited total.
For three years of playing....I've spent money on worse.

One of my co-workers was always bragging out how he won money at the horse track. The track also has a full blown casino. He talked about winning a lot of money, but one day he came in rather disheveled. He was bankrupt, and the sheriff had foreclosed on his house, and they hauled off his car. He had leveraged everything he had on gambling debts and lost it all. So yea, he won on occasion, but lost a lot more. He declared bankruptcy, and lived on friends couches for a few months. His family had all disowned him until he stopped gambling. Like any addiction, he had a tough time getting back on his feet.
To keep it as just entertainment and a fun thing to do is the key. I can blow $100 on dinner at a fancy restaurant meal with my wife when we meet another couple. I see people going to Vegas and spending $100 a person for food, and $20 for a cup of coffee. Not this cheap bastage.
