How do YOU come out?



On Top? Break Even? Lose Your Shirt?





I go with a set amount, approximately $100 per day. I tend to get rid of that and spend a couple hundred more on a week long stay.





yet, I have a client who ALWAYS comes home On top by $1000 or more. The last time she went, she won enough to pay for the trip, spending on the trip %26amp; had an extre $2000 in the bank, and that was before she applied to the IRS for the remainder (Canadian).





How do others do?

How do YOU come out?


If only I knew enough to quit while ahead. I always come home broke but money can%26#39;t buy memories so ...



say-la-vee (or however it%26#39;s spelled).



How do YOU come out?


Usually even for the most part- We only take what we can afford to lose and so far we%26#39;ve never ran out of $$ before the trip ended.



Someday, it would be NICE however, if we came back with at least double what we took!! Dream on, I know....



S=-)




it seems to even out....some trips come back with same amount of money we took which I consider to be a winning trip, otherwise less cash than started with and once zip..nada..had enough to get cab to the airport and that%26#39;s it..that one hurt!




When I saw the title of this thread I had no idea it was about gambling: thought it was something else entirely.





Oh well...........could have been interesting though.




My experiences run the whole spectrum. I have had trips where I couldn%26#39;t sit at a table without walking away heavy a $500 or 1K chip. And I%26#39;ve had a trip where I went the entire week without visiting the cage because I NEVER left a table with chips.





All in all, Vegas probably gets me for more than I get it. But that%26#39;s the way it inevitably will be.





I would take your clients%26#39; claim with a grain of salt. I know a lot of people who claim to ALWAYS come out on top. Funny thing is, they usually have a very selective memory.




just came back . went with 1000 cash in my pocket . came back with about $250 and only used my c.c. for skydiving ($300)and room phone/ internet services($30)



i was up and down (mostly down) until the last night .



but i went expecting to blow the $1000 and more on the c.c.



so, id say i came back up!





trips before i usually am up a bit or break even




First trip we went we doubled our money, took $1200 and came back with $2400. Every trip after that (about 5) we have lost, but have never lost it all; and have never visited the ATM, LOL!




It depends on when we quit. If a good win at end of trip, great....it comes home. However, I don%26#39;t remember those...but do remember the times we spent 3 times what we planned to spend. Somehow, that old phrase should be....';What $$$ you take to Vegas stays in Vegas!';





There are some sad stories, but we somehow manage to have a great time ...it%26#39;s vacation!








The only thing keeping me going right now (cuz this month is creeping along so slowly before my trip) is picturing myself winning big.





bells, whistles, comps.





VEGAS BABY YEAH!!!!
