i enjoy the mental exercise of trying to figure out strategies on predictit, so i play a little on there with small amounts. like the cost of like a dinner and a movie can pay for a month worth of fun. that's fine then if i win and then lose it because i'm learning the whole time



i don't play casino style games of chance though like slots or roulette or lotteries except maybe a couple scratch offs a year, games that are just intermittent reinforcement machines comes down to probability and operant conditioning, not interesting

About 4 years ago I won 8 grand on a pot. That was nerve racking.

And I dunno if you count CS GO skins as gambling but I won some pixels and nerds are willing to give me 115 for it.

Kingdom of loathing had an item called Mr A that you had to pay $10 of irl money for or buy them witrh ingame currency off someone who had bought one. One day you could buy this pretty lovely pet item in exchange for a Mr A. The item was only available for 24 hours and no one knew that. My friend traded all his Mr A's that hed bought with ingame currency for this pet.

6mo later it was clear this item would never show up again and the price skyrocketed. Aftet a year or so he put them on the market for massive sums of ingame money. Then he sold that ingame currency in small lots on ebay and got irl rich (for a teen)

everyone sucks poo poo at the game. unless you're in one of the Top 20 pro teams, you suck poo poo. that's how CS:GO works.

I was #1 on the supreme commander ladder by building a factory and making the rally point at the ither guys starting location. 70% of the time people would just quit if you attacked them in the first minute cause they wanted grand strategy

I played this game called Omerta Ciry of Gangsters online and won 100% of my games by making a team of melee dudes with max speed and running to the other side of the map and clobbering everyones snipers in 2 turns.

I could clear out the lobby in like an hour. People got so butthurt.

me and my friend who is good at poker spent 2013 hanging out all night every day of the year including holidays smoking massive bags of chiba and watching him decimate people in starcraft 1 which continues the blizzard trend of their ancient rear end games having weirdly awesome dedicated tiny communities a decade later.

I moved out the next year and he moved away and when I was cleaning out my office hundreds of blunt wraps stashed between the pages of my Liber Chaotica tumbled to the floor and I cried for a while listening to Tupacs I Ain't Mad Atcha

Online gambling sounds really lame and depressing. If you're going to gamble, why not do it in a posh exciting casino with other people instead of alone in your dark gooncave?

Also, I'm pretty sure it's illegal nowadays (at least in America :911:).

For pro players its much more profitable hourly to play online because games are quicker and you can play 6 tables at once.
