Ace!

After a spell of hibernation, I ventured out last night for dinner, drinks and a little gamble. Not the usual night out for me, but as I seem to be overly into the National Lottery just now (how many tickets can one buy in a week?!) I welcomed a bit of a flutter. Good times and fun.
I don't think I played as a real gambler, Lady Luck was on my side for few times which was a giggle. I watched closely as the others played, sussing out the croupier's deal using their Black Jack's mind to deal another card or not. Fascinated by it, I stayed on the table placing my £5 chip down each hand and sometimes increasing my amount to at least £20...

I went home with more than I went out with in my wallet but at one point I should have stopped and converted (is that the correct terminology?) my chips to pounds rather than encouraging my gambling hand to win higher.

Sensible fun and intriguing observing all night. More men than women playing, a lot of blokes had their "girls", glammed up by their side, gulping down more vodka as the game became more serious.

It felt like I had come home from a holiday and was exchanging my euros at the travel agent when I went to the cashier's desk with my chips. Greed was also on my side too but I stuck to my limit and went home happy with a few extra bucks.

Checked my lottery results today. Nada. Nothing. Nowt. You'd think I would learn by now. It's part of the fun, you just never know! Harmless fun that's costing me money.

Who's losing now?!!
