Man, if I made a $15 million score, I wouldn't care if every casino on earth banned me. Are you greedy or something? It's time to retire and enjoy the good things of life.
So often I have seen gamblers who start out with the idea if I make such and such an amount, then I will quit gambling. It starts off being a means to an end. But most often what happens is that the gambler continues to do what he has been doing. He has lost sight of his goal, and continues mindlessly living the life that was never meant to be permanent. The gambler of course goes broke again, probably many times over.
But if the AP continues after he has achieved his goal, what does that amount to-- spending endless days in smoke-filled casinos, rubbing shoulders with some people you would not be caught dead with under ordinary circumstances, and subjecting yourself to the rhythmic ups and downs of variance, chancing even to lose a mighty portion of what you have already won.
I say, if AP does not lead to a better life, than it leads no where. If the enjoyment is in the chase, than Paradise will never be gained. Give me $15 million and I will find new ways to fill my life. I have never tried yachting. Maybe, I'll buy homes around the world and travel far and wide. I know $15 million isn't all that much, but if one is thrifty, one can get by and do a lot of things that were once unavailable to him. But to spend my life in the casino-- gimme a break! Just my thoughts!
