I need to go to Las Vegas

Was just reading a story in the Los Angeles Times about upcoming events in Sin City... I need to go to Las Vegas. However, based on my last trip there, I need to go back there like I need a second head.

The last time I went to Las Vegas, I lost quite a bit of money playing craps. I won some money, too. The problem with me is, I win and I keep playing, and I end up giving it all back and then some.

Ideally, if I must go to Las Vegas, I should go with someone who will stop me from playing once I win money, or at least, stop me from going into debt. I think that would be quite a job for anyone, though. Probably best if I stay away from there, unfortunately. I admit, I have a gambling problem... whenever I gamble, I go a little nuts. I can't even bet on a football pool at work because I find myself getting crazy with the results. It stops being fun. I guess that's the definition of an addiction... it stops being fun.

Still and all, I want to go to Las Vegas. Would anyone like to pay for my trip?

Ben,

I can only promise that if I win the lotto to go with you to Las Vegas. I am a very good Craps player and won a lot for many years. So maybe we would make a good team.

This is my trick to winning. I always played along side of Dick and he is really the big winner, so everytime he got paid by the dealer, I just picked up a samll handful of chips and put them in my pocket or purse. Being the honest person I am, at the end of the evening while he was counting up his winnings, I always had more to add.

So cross your fingers that sooner or later I win Lotto. Gayle
